Soup's on! Follow the sequence and take turns adding food
cards to the pot. First potatoes, then tomatoes, and so
on. Out of the right ingredient? Pass your turn with a dash-of-salt
card or dare to bluff. You'll have to sneak to get rid of
your stone cards—slip one into the pot and double your
risk. Be the first to play all of your cards and win. When
the game is over, follow Sally Sampson's Stoneless Stone
Soup recipe to cook up a real pot of soup!
A bluffing card game, Stone Soup helps children plan ahead
and predict, read other people's faces, and learn when to
take a risk. Bluffing is a skill that most children begin
to develop at about age eight. Once they discover there
are clues to what others may be thinking, and that they
can fool them sometimes, they become fascinated by the bluff.
Stone Soup lightens the deception with a warm and humorous
narrative from the familiar folk tale.
