The rules

4 steps.

  1. The phone cuts one of its own pictures into pieces and scatters them.
  2. Drag a piece near where you think it belongs and it clicks into place.
  3. A piece that is home stays home — you cannot knock it out again by mistake.
  4. Keep going until the picture is whole. Nobody is out and nobody is timed.

The bit everyone gets wrong

It is the one thing in here that is not a party game. It is what you play while everybody argues about what to play.

What the phone does

The phone cuts the picture, scatters the pieces so none of them starts already solved, and snaps a piece home when you get close. It is not keeping score, because there is nothing here to score.

It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.

Cut Up is one game in a library of 59. Finish it and PartyStack names the next one — a different kind each time, so nobody has to go back to a menu.
