How do you play Kent?

Answer 1

4 Players.

Each players has 4 cards.

4 cards face up in the center of the players.

2 teams of 2 people each. A signal is made up pre-game for the PARTNERS to agree on. The enemy team cannot know the signal.

Each person has to try to make their hand of 4 cards, identical. (4 cards of Jack, or Ace, and so on.)

You drop a card you don't want, and pick up one from the 4 cards in the center. Once a player has all of their cards identical, you gesture your signal to your partner, and they have to yell 'Kent' for you.

You then lay down your cards to show everyone that you did indeed have Kent.

If the enemy team yells Kent when they see you do your signal, and you DO indeed have Kent, then you lose because they said it before your teammate did.

But if they yell Kent on you, and you DON'T have Kent, they lose.

The four cards in the center are thrown out of the game once EVERYONE agrees they don't need any cards from it. Then 4 different cards are pulled from the deck, and put in the center. The game goes on until the signal is done, or a false Kent is yelled.

Simple.
