Spooneye! The Card Game

The Basic Game

Cards With Effects: 9

If a 9 is played, that player gets to steal any exposed card off of one of their opponent's masts and place it anywhere they could play a card on their side. If there are no cards on the opponent's side, the 9 has no effect. The effect of this card occurs immediately after the card is played, except that any raising/capturing/closing of masts always takes precedence. Stealing a 3, 4, or 9 does not produce an additional effect.

The 9 is also known as the spooneye, and to take an opponent's card after playing a 9 is to spooneye.

To raise one of your masts by spooneyeing an opponent's card is known as hornswoggling.
