A quick game playable with just a single paper. Each turn, place a finger on a new square, to score more points than your opponents before you’ve used your whole hand.

Rules are explained on the board itself.
You can also generate random boards with custom settings.
Clarifications
Yes, you really play with your hands! And yes, that means you might physically get in each other’s way, and people with large hands naturally have a slight advantage, and after a while you’ll need to move your head to see some obscured squares.
This game isn’t a 1-hour long tactical battle—it’s a fun game to play in ten minutes that needs no other preparation or material whatsoever.
Boards are as balanced and pretty as I can make them (through random generation code). If you don’t like the look of one, however, or think it’s unbalanced, just press the button again to generate another! It’s free! And fast!
To make sure we’re all on the same page, here is an image of how a single hand might be placed and how to score it (at the end of the game.)
At the end, you might want to take a picture (from above) or write down the fingers for each player on another paper. Especially if you have many players (4+), it can be tiring to keep your hand in a difficult position for a long time, or very hard to verify scores from your own perspective.
Credits
I’ve used the fonts Cherry Bomb One (headings, thick) and Quicksand (body, thin). They are both freely available from Google Fonts.
Everything else (idea, code, assets) are completely mine, with the exception of some ingredient and machine illustrations. For those a generative AI was used, although they were often (heavily) edited afterwards to keep a consistent style.
Support
You can hire me! Maybe you need a special board game or video game for a birthday or educational purpose? I'm also open to inquiries about physically publishing my games. I am a registered freelance artist from the Netherlands and you can contact me professionally through my portfolio.
If unsure, visit my Online Store. It contains everything I ever made. Though it focuses on playful education and activities for children/family, first and foremost.
Another great way to support me is to simply let me know what you think! Mail me at harmonize@pandaqi.com with any feedback.
Alternatives would be to buy my paid work (a win-win situation!) or to donate through the most popular channels (see buttons below).
