Rebustory is a French game in which players must form rebuses (express words or sentences through drawings or signs) with illustrated cards.
Game content: 140 cards including 128 "image" cards, 11 jokers and 1 Rebustory card, 1 card dispenser shoe, an hourglass, a score book and a game rule.
Goal: Form rebuses and be the first player to reach the 300-point score to be crowned the winner of the game.
Start of the game: Shuffle the cards and deal 10 cards to each player. The rest of the cards are placed in the shoe, face down.
The 1st player begins:
He draws a card from the shoe.
If he can, he places all the cards forming his rebus in front of him, then counts all these points and marks them on the scorebook.
If he can't form a rebus, he throw a card.
And it is the 2nd player's turn (clockwise), he draws a card from the shoe OR the last card from discard. And so on as the first player.
