How to play Hoy

The person in charge of the activity needs to give each player a Hoy Game Sheet and 9 or 13 counters or chips for them to mark the cards on their sheet.

The dealer then takes their pack of cards and turns a card over one at a time calling that card out to the group

If any player has that card on their Hoy Sheet they put a marker on that card.

The game continues until a player gets all of their cards on their hoy game sheet marked, when they do they call hoy.
