Today after dinner I decided to make up some new card games. The first game I made up was called Citta. It w as bit like “Snap” except when you win and put your hands down on the cards you have to call out “Citta”. And every time you get a red card on top of a red card, or a black card on top of a black card you win if you say Citta. I told Mum and Dad and Felix when it was their turn to play a card and I had to remind Dad when it was his turn to win as he didn’t seem to be paying attention. I never have that trouble with Mum as she is quite competitive and always trying to win.
I then decided we should try a new version of Citta where you have to twirl your card over and over before putting it down on the table. This allows everyone to see the colour of the card which makes it easier to know when to Citta. So I decided to change the rules on that too so that only black on red could be Citta, and then red on black as well. We finished by having to do double twirls with one card in each hand at the same time all playing together. I’m really good at making up rules. And I’m really good at Citta.
