Spoons Game Rules
How many people can play Spoons?
To play the Spoons drinking game, you need at least 3 people. But you can play spoon with up to 12 players.
Spoons Drinking Game Setup
Players begin by positioning themselves around a table. Grab the deck of cards and leave one set of 4 of a kind per player in the deck (so 4 players could use 2s, 3s, 4s, & 5s [16 cards total] and 12 players would use the entire deck).
Next, place the spoons in the middle of the table (1 less spoon than the number of players). Finally, deal out the cards, totaling 4 per player.
Spoons Drinking Game Rules
There is one caller each round, responsible for saying 'pass' out loud, marking when each player must pass a card off to the player next to them (left is default, unless 'pass right' is called).
It's recommended to call out pass quickly, to make the game more interesting and harder to track.
The objective is to collect 4 of a kind, and once a player has acquired 4 of a kind, they place their cards down and grab a spoon, causing all other players to race to grab a remaining spoon.
Since there is one less spoon than there are players, one player will end up losing and having to drink the most. If the final spoon is shared by two players, whoever grabbed the large half is considered the owner of it.
One small suggestion is that you could make losers drink alcohol based on the added value of their cards or something along those lines.

How Do You Play Spoons?
Setup
Have everyone sit in a circle, facing each other. Shuffle the deck of cards. Place spoons in the middle. There should be one less than the number of players; in other words, if there are seven players, then six spoons should be in the middle of the circle.
How to Play Spoons
Deal each player four cards. With the remaining cards, form a stack. To begin a game, the first player takes a card from the deck and places it into his hand. He or she decides whether to keep this card or not. He or she quickly discards one card from his hand and passes it, face down, to the next person in the circle (in clockwise order).
The goal to try to get 4 of a kind. Once a person gets 4 of the same rank of card, he or she is now eligible to grab a spoon from the middle. Once anyone takes a spoon from the middle, the rest of the players can now grab a spoon, even if they don't yet have four of a kind. In order not to lose, you must grab a spoon in time. The last player (the one who was not successful in getting a spoon) loses and must leave the circle. Decrease the number of spoons by one and repeat this process until there is only one winner left.
Strategies for Playing Spoons
A good strategy is to pause for a moment when all other players are distracted before quietly taking a spoon. Because there is one less spoon than the number of players, the person who ends up without a spoon loses.
You can also fake out other players by pretending to reach for a spoon (without actually touching any). If a person erroneously grabs a spoon when no one has 4 of a kind, they also lose.
If you wish the game to last longer, you may decide that a player must lose a few times before being removed permanently.
