Game progress. Option 2.
The beginning of the game is the same as in the first version: the host hides the coin, and the player is looking for it. The search process itself is slightly different.
The player takes any octopus from the table and places it next to him. If there is a coin under it, then the player won on the first move, if not, then the presenter says how this octopus is different from the one they are looking for. The player takes the next card, already focusing on the leader's hint. If the shell is under the card, then the player won on the second move, if not, the host again tells how this octopus is not like the right one.

Quartet game.

Preparing for the game. There are 36 cards in the game (2 sets). The oldest player shuffles the cards and deals four cards to himself and his opponent. The cards are taken by the players in their hands with the pictures facing themselves, so that the players do not see each other's cards. The rest of the cards in the deck are placed side by side on the table face down. You can start playing!

Game progress.
Players look at their cards and try to find similar octopuses there, that is, pictures with the same features. As signs, there may be the same color of animals or the presence of bows or hats, or maybe you have three eared octopuses or several octopuses with fish on your hands at once.
After examining the cards, the player who did not deal cards puts an octopus face down on the table, which does not fit into the company and takes their stacks of a new card.

This happens until one of the players collects 4 identical octopuses, that is, a company of octopuses with the same interests and characteristics.

The game by its rules resembles a poker card game, where you need to collect a certain combination of cards, only with more colorful pictures and simple rules. However, you should try to find the same octopuses, because they are all in different poses and different colors, which is very distracting.

Game progress.
The player draws the top three cards from the deck and places them in a row on the table, face up. Now we determine if there is a similarity between the third and first card. If there is a similarity (color, noses, ears, fish, bows and hats), then we shift the middle card to the first, and move the third to the place of the second. If the octopuses are not similar, then we take out the fourth card and now we compare it with the second one. This solitaire game resembles the well-known solitaire game for adults, where you have to collect all the cards in one pile.

3. Children's board game

Preparing for the game
Shuffle all the cards and arrange them on the table in three rows of five cards each.
You can start playing!

Game progress. Option 1.
The player turns away or closes his eyes, and the leader hides a shell or a coin under one of the cards.
Now the player has to find an octopus, under which lies a shell, asking questions to the host and getting answers to them, only "YES" and "NO".

Game example:
Does this octopus have a hat?
- Not.
- He is yellow?
- Yes.
- Does he have a fish?
- Not.
- Eared?
- Yes.
- This is Lyosha!

Try to find the shell in the fewest number of questions. The optimal number is 4 questions.
If the player is still small, then unnecessary cards can be removed from the field. That is, first all the octopuses in hats are removed from the field, then all the octopuses except for the yellow ones, then all those who hold the fish and at the end turn the eared octopus to Lyosha, and under it, to everyone's joy, find the hidden object.

Game progress. Option 2.
The beginning of the game is the same as in the first version: the host hides the shell, and the player is looking for it. The search process itself is slightly different.
The player randomly picks any octopus from the table and places it next to him. If there is a shell under it, then the player won on the first move, if not, then the presenter says how this octopus is different from the one they are looking for. The player takes the next card, already focusing on the leader's hint. If the shell is under the card, then the player won on the second move, if not, the host again tells how this octopus is not like the right one.

Game example:
The host hid the shell under a yellow octopus with a nose and a fish (Petya).
The player takes a green octopus card with a hat (Zhenya).
Leading: - No, this is not Zhenya, the octopus who hid the shell, does not wear a hat.
The player puts a card in front of him and takes another, a yellow octopus with a nose and a bow.
Host: - No, it's definitely not Zoya, my octopus without a bow.
Etc.

In this version, the host also takes part in the game, finding differences between the octopus chosen by the player and his own.
