How to play Spoons: Spoons is like musical chairs but played with cards. Instead of waiting for the music to stop, players wait till one of them get four matching cards. That player grabs a spoon and then the other players try to get one of the remaining spoons. The player who misses out on a spoon gets a letter, and another round is played. When a player has enough letters to spell the name of the spoon, she is eliminated. The last remaining player is the winner.
