Fruit Punch was originally released in 1990 under the name Halli Galli - from a German term, halligalli, apparently meaning revelry or merrymaking - with a hotel desk-style bell instead of its later edition's plastic fruit (or berry, for you banana pedants out there).
The rules of the game are very simple. Each player receives a pile of cards turned upside down, and the bell is placed in the middle. Cards are turned over one by one until there are 5 of the same type of fruit visible on the table. Whoever notices first needs to ring the bell as quickly as possible. Whoever rings the bell first gets all of the cards on the table. It’s very important, because in this game, the more cards you have, the better. You need to remember that 5 of the same fruit can appear all on one card, or spread across several cards. We ring the bell only when there are exactly 5 – no more, and no less. If someone makes a mistake and rings the bell at any other time, he must give every other player one card from his stack. This one card sometimes saves certain players from being out of the game. When there are only 2 people left we play until the “first ring of the bell”. If someone rings first and there are 5 of the same fruit, that person wins. On the other hand, if someone rings the bell by mistake, he must give his cards – and the victory – to his opponent.
