In 1, 2, 3. Soleil!, one player acts as the sun and counts while all others simultaneously draw cards and mime the movements shown. Cards are passed around until the sun finishes counting to 20. Players must quickly act and avoid keeping too many cards, as the one with the most cards at the end loses. The game blends simultaneous action and acting in a lively group experience.
Who Is This Game For?
This game targets families with children aged 6 and up, accommodating 3 to 13 players. Its simple rules and short duration make it a light family game suited for quick and fun group play without prior experience.
How It Works
The core mechanics are Acting, Push Your Luck, and Simultaneous Action Selection. One player is the sun counting to 20. Meanwhile, others simultaneously draw cards, mime movements, and pass cards around. Players who hold too many cards lose. Special cards like Parasol and Sunscreen alter gameplay.
