Introducing the Keyando Cards with the Game of Happiness, and 4 more games.
Created by Dirk de Pol and illustrated by Antonio Piedade
Think of Keyando as an universal tool. A tool that allows us to play, have
fun, or just feel better. A tool that inspires us to communicate and to clarify
things. This is what Keyando is all about.
The cards themselves are beautiful pieces of art illustrated by artist,
António Piedade. They were designed to play the new and exciting Game
of Happiness, as well as other known fun and family games like: Hanafuda,
Concentration, Kemps and a puzzle game. Furthermore, the Keyando
cards can also be used for any form of life coaching or like Tarot cards.
KEYANDO - The Game of Happiness
There is no game that really catches happiness. That`s why we created
Keyando - The Game of Happiness. Keyando is an entertaining card game
that let's talk about both funny, and serious things. You can play the cards
by telling stories, challenging other players by asking them whatever you
like, or simply play strictly strategic without revealing too much about you.
In the game we easily open up and get closer to the people around us. If
you like the games Dixit, or Truth or Dare you will LOVE Keyando.
The game is using the knowledge from several international studies on
happiness, and includes a total of 52 different cards. There are the 46 keys
to happiness, ranging from love, to adventure and everything in between,
and an additional 6 jokers.
The game is designed for 3 to 8 players.
Learning the game takes ten minutes, and playing it takes anywhere
between 30 and 90 minutes.

HOW IT WORKS
One objective of the game is to arrange the cards played in 4 rows of 12
cards each. There are twelve suits of four cards, representing all
months. The cards form a puzzle with a landscape on it.
First row: September, second row: December.
At the beginning of the game, each players gets 5 cards. The remaining cards
are shuffled and placed in a stack.
Going clockwise, the player next to the dealer starts the game.
WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN YOU HAVE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS:

ASK
Lay down a card in front of a co-player and ask him anything you like about it.
For example, when you play the “Challenge” card, you could ask:
“What means this card to you?”, or more specific: “What was your
biggest challenge?”
Your imagination is your only limit here. Especially when you play
an angel or vampire card which can represent whatever you like,
and allows you to ask whatever you want.
If you are satisfied with the answer, your card stays on the table
and the player asked plays next as a reward.
If the answer is refused the player asked has to draw a card from
the stack and you must withdraw your card and it will be the next
players turn.

TELL
Play a card face down and tell a story about it without using the word written on the card.
For example, when you play the card recognition, trust or friendship, you
can describe situation where it was evident or in which it was useful (e.g.
launching a company, relationship, solving a problem) or just describe
why this key to happiness is most important to you (without mentioning
which key it is).
Then all co-players can lay down a card face down if they think it
corresponds to the situation or the explanation from the telling player.
When everyone has played the cards they want, the cards are turned and
the discussions starts to find out what cards are most appropriate and
what cards should be rejected with a simple majority decision.
A player whose card is declined must take it back and take another card
from the stack. All players who have played their card successfully, leave
them open on the table.

LAY CARDS
Instead of asking or telling something you can simply lay down a card that fits to one which is already on the table.
It is possible to lay down several matching cards at once.
If winning is one of your keys to happiness this might be a
good way to go.
THAT'S IT! MORE OR LESS …
THERE ARE SOME MORE THINGS TO CONSIDER.

STOP A TURN
You can interrupt a player during his turn with an angel or vampire anytime.
When it’s getting out of hand or when someone is just about to win you
can use an angel or vampire at any time, and then the next person
clockwise will be on!
Important:
If you interrupt a turn all cards played in that turn have to be taken back.
Most likely some co-players will not be happy about that …

END OF THE GAME
Whoever plays all his cards first, wins!
However, if you forget to shout "Keyando!" at the end, you have to take back your
last card (or cards) and you get an additional card from the stack! Yikes!

COACHING
The 46 different keys to happiness were extracted out of the different
international studies on happiness, and the Keyando cards represent these 46
different keys. These Keyando cards include keys such as: commitment,
creativity, faith, family, friendship, love, winning and many more. As the cards
represent all the essential keys to happiness, they can also be used for Life
Coaching (with a coach, or in self coaching). The cards can be used in different
ways, for example for goal setting, team building or the Wheel of Life which
represents the different areas of life.

and show us how we can integrate them into our lives to achieve our goals,
greater happiness, more balance or more satisfaction for ourselves and
others.
