Oh My! - I Swallowed a Fly!

ABOUT THE GAME

Oh My, I Swallowed a Fly is a whimsical card game inspired by the beloved nursery rhyme. In this 2-player game, players take on the role of grandmas competing in an unconventional animal-eating contest.

During each round, players wager on which critter they can stomach. The player with the highest bet claims the loser's card and places it into their barnyard. They must then "eat" the animal by placing the winning card on their stomach area.

The player with the most points after 5 rounds wins. But be warned. Having too many high-level cards can cause you to burst, losing the game.

COMPONENTS

• 32 Playing Cards
• 1 Round Tracker Card
• 1 Grandma Meeple
• 1 QR Rules Card*
• 1 Mint Tin Box

PLUS - Access the Print & Play files.

SET UP

Separate the cards into two decks, each known as the barn yard. Each deck contains:

 - 1 HORSE 
 - 1 COW 
 - 2 DOG 
 - 2 KITTEN 
 - 3 BIRD 
 - 3 SPIDER
 - 4 FLY

Hand each player one of the decks. Then place the Round Tracker card in the middle of the table. Put the grandma meeple on the number one flower, indicating the start of the first round.

GAMEPLAY

At the beginning of each round, players pick cards from their barnyard to create a hand totaling 10 points. The power number is located at the top of each card. Any leftover cards go face down for the next round.

Each player then selects one card from their newly created hand and places it face down. After both players have selected a card, reveal it at the same time.

The player with the highest value wins, except for the fly, which loses to all except the horse. The winning player adds the opponent's card to their barnyard. The winning card is then placed in front of the player in an area known as the stomach.

NOTE - If both players play the same card, then each card is placed in their respected player’s stomach area.

The round ends when a player runs out of cards in their hand.

If a player has cards left in their hand, the opponent randomly selects one and places it in their stomach area. The rest return to the barnyard.

Each player then chooses cards in their stomach equal to the current round number, rotating them 90 degrees. (Each card can only be turned once per round.)  If a card is ever flipped 180 degrees, it has been “digested.” Remove it from the game

Finally, move the grandma meeple to the next number on the Round Tracker.

WINNING THE GAME

• A player has 20 or more stuffed icons in their stomach area (AKA icons found on the bottom of each card). That player loses the game.

• A player cannot reach the 10 points required to create a hand at the start of a round, losing the game.

• Five rounds have past. Each player count the number of stuffed icons they have on cards in their stomach area. Most points wins.
