All you want is to spend a quiet holiday with your man - without compromising on the traditions. We draw up just the plan for you. You, him, a pack of cards and some colourful games - we certainly can't think of a more perfect holiday than that!
Gotcha!
This is a fun game, sure to keep both of you on your toes. All you need is a deck of cards. Shuffle them and divide the deck amongst the both of you. One by one, you have to start laying out the cards alternatively. If you lay the same numbered card upon the other, you have to shout out ‘Gotcha’, for example, a 2 upon a 2. The one who shouts out ‘gotcha’ first, gets to keep the entire stack of cards which has been laid down. You have to be sharp to win this game. You can make it more fun or creative by adding variations… like greater/ smaller numbers (a 4 upon a 3 and vice versa). In case you wrongly shout out ‘Gotcha’, your partner gets to keep the cards instead. And of course, you can give this a naughty twist. The person who loses can be made to do whatever the winner wants.
Your wish is my command
What you need:
From a pack of regular cards all the Kings and Queens.
So you’ll have 8 cards in all.
Divide the cards into 2 sets (2 kings and 2 queens). Both of you have to hide each card from your set in different places in the house.
Objective of the game:
To find the other person’s set in a limited time period. Each card represents a wish (the king - a crazy fantasy, the queen - a domestic fantasy) which the other partner has to fulfil. You have to find as many cards as you can (which your partner has hidden) within 10 minutes. Works great for those spouses who have a lot of wishes (read fantasies) to fulfil.
Match point
You all must have played the memory game on the computer. This is the card version of the game. Shuffle and lay out the entire deck of cards on the floor in a square, face down. Open two cards at a time to see if they match. If they don’t, you will have to turn them around once again in their original positions. As you open more and more cards, you will have to memorise the position of the earlier cards so as to make a match. Once you make a match, you will get to keep those cards. The partner with the most cards at the end of the match is the winner.
We have surely got you thinking with these. Now, create your own as you go along. Turn off the lights, sparkle the house with diyas and settle down in your living room, after Laxmi Puja, with a deck of cards, just you and him, and voila… you’ll have the most memorable Diwali with your partner.
