First you need a bed then you climb in to it with your loved one, lie on your side ... extremely close to each other ... one behind the other ... and then you have a spooning ... lol Musical spoons you put 2 spoons together and tap them between your hand and knee to create a clicking type sound ..

3- 13 players, 6 or more is best. One spoon for each player exept 1. (ie, 6 players 5 spoons). The goal is the get four cards of the same rank.For each player in the game, you need four cards of the same rank from the deck. For example, with 5 players you could use the Aces, 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s. Shuffle the cards and deal them to the players. "Players simultaneously choose one card from their hands, pass that card to the opponent on their left, and pick up the card they've received from the opponent on their right. Each player can never have more than four cards in his hand, so it's illegal for a player to pick up a new card before passing one to the left. When a player collects four of a kind, he does one of the following actions, depending on which version of the game is being played: * Spoons: As subtly as possible, take a spoon and place it in front of yourself. * Pig: Quietly place a finger on the tip of your nose. * Tongue: Quietly, but visibly, stick out your tongue. When one player does this, every other player must do likewise as quickly as possible. The last player to grab a spoon, touch his nose, or stick out his tongue is the loser. OPTIONAL: While playing Spoons or Tongue, players who either take a spoon or stick out their tongue can continue to pick up and pass cards, making it more difficult for other players to realize what has happened. (The player who actually collected four cards of the same rank must always pass the card they just picked up, because passing any other card would break up their four-of-a-kind.) This option is not available when playing Pig, since one of your hands will be occupied with touching your nose. Scoring The last player to grab a spoon, touch his nose, or stick out his tongue is the loser and is eliminated from the game. Remove a set of four cards from the deck and play another round. OPTIONAL: Each player has three lives. The last player to grab a spoon, touch his nose, or stick out his tongue is the loser and loses a life. When a player loses all three of his lives (which can be represented by the letters P-I-G), he's eliminated from the game. Remove a set of four cards from the deck and play another round. Winning The final two players in the game are co-winners."

Here's the version I'm familiar with, but when I googled "spoons card game rules" I saw there are several other ways to play. http://boardgames.about.com/od/cardgames/a/spoons.htm Players: 3 to 13 players. Best with 6 to 13 players. Deck: A standard 52-card deck. You also need one spoon for each player except one. EXAMPLE: With 8 players, you need 7 spoons. Goal: To be the first to collect four cards of the same rank. If an opponent beats you to that goal, to not be the last to realize it. Setup: For each player in the game, you need four cards of the same rank from the deck. For example, with 5 players you could use the Aces, 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s. Shuffle the cards and deal them to the players. Each player will have four cards. Put the spoons in the middle of the table so that every player can reach them. Gameplay: Players simultaneously choose one card from their hands, pass that card to the opponent on their left, and pick up the card they've received from the opponent on their right. Each player can never have more than four cards in his hand, so it's illegal for a player to pick up a new card before passing one to the left.When a player collects four of a kind, as subtly as possible, take a spoon and place it in front of yourself.

The rules have been adequately spelled out here. I also would like to add that I've caused some blunt trauma force with a few compound fractures in this game. Hand models stay away.

Best game ever... OK. You need 1 less spoon then people. The spoons go in the middle of the circle of people. Deal 4 cards to every person. The dealer then picks up a card and then he discards a card to the next person who then does the same. A discard pile is formed by the last person which will then, if necessary be used by the first person when the original deck is used up. The first person to have 4 of a kind. Grabs a spoon. Person without a spoon is out. Take away a spoon and repeat the process. For the last round whoever gets the 4 of a kind wins.

I know how to play spoons but i never get opportunity to play this card game with friends. http://www.monogrammatiks.com/
