How to Play wikiHow to Meme (wikiHow's Limited Edition Card Game)

Co-authored by Hannah Madden

If you’re looking for a goofy card game with meme-worthy images, wikiHow to Meme might be the perfect game for you. The aim of the game is to match How-To Title Cards with out-of-context Image Cards from real wikiHow articles (the sillier the better!). Gather a group of 3 to 12 players and sit down for rounds of endless fun and giggles. The first person to get 5 cards wins!

1

Place the Image Cards and How-To Title Cards on the table.

Shuffle each deck of cards, then put them into 2 piles. Put them in the center so all the players can reach them, and keep the piles separate so the cards don’t get mixed together. You’ll be grabbing cards from each pile throughout the whole game, so make sure everyone can get to them!
- Each How-To Title Card features the title of a real wikiHow article.
- Each Image Card features an image pulled straight from a real wikiHow article.

2

Pick one player to be the judge.

It can be any one of your friends! Maybe the person youngest gets to go first this time, or perhaps the person who read a wikiHow article most recently can be the judge. The judge will rotate every round in a clockwise direction, so don’t worry if you aren’t picked this time.

3

Deal 7 How-To Title Cards to every player.

Have the judge hand out the cards to everyone. The judge should also give themselves 7 cards. Everyone can look at their own cards, but keep them a secret from the other players for now.

4

Turn over an Image Card and place it face up.

Have the judge flip this card. The Image Card will show you a funny wikiHow image. Every player (except for the judge) should look at the Image Card and start thinking about which card in their hand they want to pair with it.

5

Pick a How-To Title Card to match the Image Card.

Players can choose any card from their hand to play. Try to pick a card that matches the feeling, situation, or meaning of the Image Card. Have every player place their How-To Title Card face down on the table for now.
- If you’re the judge, just chill out for now—you aren’t going to submit a How-To Title Card this round.

6

Shuffle the How-To Title Cards and read them aloud.

It’s time for the judge to judge! The judge grabs all the How-To Title Cards and shuffles them together without peeking. Then, they flip them over and read them all out loud.
- If you submitted a How-To Title Card, now’s your time to persuade the judge to pick it! Anything goes (no, really—anything!).

7

Pick the best How-To Title Card that fits the Image Card.

The judge can choose a winner based on anything they want. It could be the silliest card, the most fitting card, or even the most ridiculous card. If the judge chose your card, take the Image Card and keep it next to your face up for the rest of the game.
- Take the used How-To Title Cards and put them into a discard pile for now.

8

Draw a new How-To Title Card.

All players should have 7 cards in their hands. If you played a How-To Title Card in the previous round, reach over and grab a new one before the next round starts. If you were the judge, you don't need to draw a new card.

9

Win the game by collecting 5 Image Cards.

Keep playing until someone collects 5 cards! At the beginning of each round, the player to the left of the previous judge is the new judge. Whoever collects 5 Image Cards first wins the game!
