Set Up – Playing Rules & Instructions
Setting up Hedbanz is extremely easy. Each player is given a headband and one card is then dealt out to each player and placed face down in front of them. Players then place the cards in their headbands and then they are given three chips.
The first player, who is often the youngest goes first. The player then flips the time over and begins asking questions in order to determine what is on the card that they placed in their headband.
The idea is for the player to ask the right question in order to guess what is on the card. If a correct guess is made before the timer runs out, the player can take a card and have another go.
For every guess that is correctly made, a chip is placed in the bank with the first player to put all of their chips in the bank being the winner.
