A large wind card is placed a distance away from the sneeze pile, designating the "Upwind Sneeze Pool" - whose "Downwind" counterpart lies on the other side of the two draw decks.
Each player receives one face up Sneeze card (smog, dogs, cats, pollen, or dust) in front of them to show what their allergy happens to be. Two decks of cards are shuffled and placed face down on the table - a pile of "Sneeze" cards next to thirty "And Now…." Cards.
It's one of the few games that actively helps those who fall behind and although the very end of the game was slightly stagnant, overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and I expect to play it many times this year. Yet it worked well enough, and had a good amount of strategy in it - I was enamored enough to put it on my "Fillers to pull out any time, any place" list. I was surprised at just how much fun the game really was! It was tremendously simple and is obviously meant to be played in a light-hearted, easy going way. But because of Shannon's good words (he is the best reviewer on the internet), I decided to play Sneeze first. When I received the four different games that Cambridge Games Factory makes, also including Splat!, Glory to Rome, and Ice Pirates of Harbour Grace, I thought that Sneeze was probably the most lackluster themed of the group. He mentioned that it was a kids game that he enjoyed and I was immediately interested, since Shannon's declaration of the game as a winner intrigued me. I first heard of Sneeze (Cambridge Games Factory, 2005 - Ed Carter and Carl Chudyk) from a review by Shannon Appelcline.
