Aka Pancake Trade , Cake, Swap. It's the game where you start out with one really good pancake , and try to trade it for another. For example, if someone started with a strawberry shortcake, they would be looking for something like a chocolate éclair or an apple fritter . You might also find yourself on the receiving end of this sort of deal, so be careful!
First, before you can play there are a few things you need to know about pancakes . You should have an appreciation for them since without that it would be pretty difficult to do the whole pancake thing. Also, you have to have at least one pancake , preferably more. Once you have that, then you can talk to other pancake lovers and look for something interesting. The best things are usually rare , so don't expect to find anything too good early on. Here are some examples of pancakes.
You might have something like this at the start, but there's always the chance of having a dud and someone trading so they don't have it. Then what would you do? What happens if there's not a single good pancake in the mix?
So, after you've done all that (and I'm NOT including any of this in the rules), there are some other things you should know about pancakes . The next pancake that comes along is likely to be a bad pancake , and that's not allowed!
I know it sounds cruel, but we all had some practice trading the pancakes so you can get something better than your one really good pancake . To prevent anyone from getting only bad pancakes , there's a rule called the One Bad Pancake Rule. It states that if the last pancake you traded for was a bad one, then you MUST trade it to the next person who wants a pancake.
Whoever has the One Bad Pancake at the end of the trading is toast! That's right, they have to burn their pancake , or eat it. It sounds pretty mean, but don't worry, you can always try again and hope to get a good one this time.
By now I imagine you're keen to play the game so I'll tell you how it works. Pancake Swap (CAKE) goes by a few names including Pancake Trade , Cake or Swap . The rules vary a little depending on what people call the game, but the basics are always the same.
The aim of Pancake Swap (CAKE) is to trade your pancake for something better, then try to keep hold of that until someone trades for it…or you can play with more than one pancake at once if you feel really confident! As I've said before having a good pancake to trade is important, so it's a good idea just to have one or two in your inventory.
The person who started the swap starts by trading someone else for a pancake . They can ask for any pancake they want, and if someone has it they will probably be more than happy to trade . That first person then continues to trade every new person who comes along until there are no more pancakes in their inventory.
I think that's all the basics covered, so let's get on with some specific rules. Pancake Swap (CAKE) can be played between two people or lots of people at once. If you're just playing with one other person then you play in turns.
