We played this a lot. It was fun being slick: when you had 4-of-a-kind, you’d quietly and sneakily slide a spoon out and keep playing, waiting for the other players to notice one missing and then make their mad grabs for the remaining spoons. At that point it’s like Musical Chairs when the music stops.
Literally my only memory of this game wasn't even this game. It was a flash game with Spongebob that follows the same rules, but with AI and Spatulas. Still nice to know where it originated from and how to play it
I remember doing this but instead of trying to get a 4 of a kind, you have to get 4 math questions right (the cards were math questions, and instead of there being real spoons, if you get a question wrong, you get a letter and try to not get the letters to the word SPOONS).
We used to play this, but instead of having spoons on the table, the deck was on the table, and you had to place your hand on the deck if you had four of a kind, while saying the name of the game out loud. Then other players would place their hands on top and the last one (the player whose hand was on top of all others') was "the loser". Also a different word was used, but interestingly it's another 5-letters word, so the number of "lives" would be the same.
We play this but we call it tongues, we use our tongues instead of spoons. It's funny when 3 of us have our tongues out and the last person is still playing 😂
I have a proposition regarding when cards run and at least one spoon was taken: If at least one spoon was taken but not everyone notices and keeps playing until no more cards are left, then the people who did not notice get a letter.

I love musical chairs and really good at it!!
I have been witness to the actual breaking of furniture in playing this game. It is one of the best games to play. The more people...the better.
Thanks! We play this at our family's Christmas parties but couldn't remember the rules for my niece's bday party, so glad you posted this!

So it’s card version of musical chairs?

Gotta try this!
Can the 4 of a kind be like the dim9nds or aces?
X of a kind refers to the rank of the cards, so, using your example, it must be 4 aces (or kings, queens, jacks, 10s or any other rank)
Best game 4 all!
You can win at musical chairs. You just got to play it a certain way
thx

Hi
This is wrong. You pass a card and than pick up a new one. You should never have 5 cards in your hand.
You failed to mention when eliminated. I presume it is when you have earned all letters to spell SPOONS. Similar to basketball game HORSE.
stop touching my brothers and sisters 🔥😡
This is not how you play spoons
My mom is banned for life from playing this game because she swore in front of Dad's very catholic grandmother while playing it.
