The Play

Turn up the top Situation Card and top 3 Play Cards. The oldest creature is the first Ferret. Ferret reads the Situation out loud.

You will play a total of 5 situations. For every situation, you’ll play a round of 3 sets: Thought, Feeling, & Action.

 

Thought Set: Ferret reads each thought out loud and silently picks the best one for the Situation. The other creature must now guess Ferret’s pick by reading aloud or pointing to one of the 3 cards. How well do you know Ferret? Will he/she like funny responses? Thoughtful ones?

 

The Ferret reveals his/her pick and moves it to below the Situation Card. Turn up a new Play Card to replace it for the next set.

 

Feeling Set: Rinse and repeat. This time, Ferret, picks a feeling to fit the situation and thought.

Action Set: Again! Ferret, picks an action to fit the situation, thought, and feeling.

 

If at least 2 out of the 3 sets are guessed correctly, together you get to collect the Situation Card and earn a point.

If all 3 sets are guessed correctly, its a Ferret Flush! Collect the Situation Card and for the next round, increase your odds of winning by turning up only 2 Play Cards.

 

If the first 2 sets are guessed incorrectly, no cards are collected and no points are earned. Move on to the next round.

Next round. Discard used Play Cards and uncollected Situation Cards. Turn up a new Situation Card and 3 Play Cards (or 2 if the previous round was a Ferret Flush). Take alternate turns being Ferret.

Adventure ends after 5 rounds.

Dig a little Deeper

(Optional but rewarding, if you’re feeling particularly adventurous.)

Ferret Flush® fosters emotional wellbeing by opening up honest conversations about our inner world – how we respond to Life’s situations and why. Explore and investigate deeper in the safe, stress-free context of play! Ask each other:

• Why did you play that card?

• What would you actually think/feel/do in this situation?

• What is a recent situation you faced that was beyond your control?
