We advise giving the right of first turn to someone who has been to London before, but players may otherwise determine who goes first.

Each player turns over any TWO cards in one turn. Depending on what is shown on these two cards, the player acts as follows:

  1. If there is a match of a WORD and its corresponding PICTURE on the two cards opened in turn, the player collects these two cards for himself and has the right to turn over any two cards on the table again.
  2. But if there is no match between the WORD and its corresponding PICTURE on the cards opened in turn, the player acts as follows:
  • If the first card revealed was a PICTURE and the second card revealed was a WORD that does not match the picture, the player turns both cards back over with the word "Klepka" facing up and places them on the table exactly where they were. The other players try to memorize their locations.
  • If the first card revealed was a WORD and the second card revealed was a PICTURE that does not match the image, the player flips both cards back "Klepka" up and places them on the table exactly where they were. The other players try to memorize their locations.
  • if the first or second card revealed is a Syncopus prize card - the player takes the Syncopus card for himself, and the other card, regardless of what was depicted on it, turns it back "Klepka" up and puts it on the table exactly where it was. The other players try to memorize their locations.
  • If the first card and the second card opened were PICTURES, the player turns the second card back over with "Klepka" facing up and places it on the table exactly where it was and opens any other card instead, trying to find the corresponding WORD to the first card (which is still lying open on the table). This is repeated until the player finds any WORD.

If it is a WORD that matches the PICTURE of the first card revealed, action 1 above is performed.
But if it is a WORD that does NOT match the PICTURE of the first card revealed, the player flips the "Klepka" back up and places it on the table exactly where it was.
The other players try to memorize their locations.

If the first and second cards were WORDS, the player turns the second card back over with the "Klepka" of the road and places it on the table exactly where it was and opens any other card instead, trying to find the corresponding PICTURE to the first card (which is still lying open on the table). This is repeated until the player finds any PICTURE.

If it is a PICTURE that matches the WORD of the first card revealed, action 1 above is performed.
But if it is a PICTURE that does NOT match the WORD of the first card revealed, the player flips the PICTURE back up and places it on the table exactly where it was.
The other players try to memorize their locations.

The turn passes to the next player.


Once there are no face-down cards left on the table, each player must make a chain using only their word cards. The chain is made by matching the last letter of the previous word with the first letter of the next word.

The winner is the one who builds the longest continuous chain of word cards. The length of the chain is determined as the sum of letters of all the words in the chain.

SYNCOPA

A Syncope card can be placed in its owner's word chain only between any two words, and at that point allows you to select any letter of the previous word to which the first letter of the next word will be attached.
