Setup
Shuffle the deck of 55 cards, each with 8 symbols. Deal one card face-down to each player (2-8 players). Place the remaining deck face-up as a draw pile. Each player places their card face-down in front of them.
How to Play
- All players flip their card face-up at the same time.
- Each player tries to find the single symbol that matches between their card and the top card of the draw pile.
- The first player to spot the matching symbol shouts the name of the symbol (e.g., 'Cat!') and takes the draw pile card, placing it on top of their own pile.
- That player then draws a new card from the draw pile for the next round.
- If two players shout at the same time, the one who takes the card first wins (or both take a penalty card, rules vary).
- The game continues until the draw pile is empty.
- The player with the most cards at the end wins.
Winning the Game
The player with the most collected cards when the draw pile runs out wins. Alternatively, play until one player has 10 cards. Variants include 'Hot Potato' (players pass cards) and 'Tower' (players race to find matches in a central pile).
