How to use

Shuffle the cards and deal them evenly among players with each player keeping a face-down pile. Players take turns revealing the top card into their personal face-up pile, adding to the table’s visible fruits. When exactly five of the same fruit are visible across all face-up piles, players race to press the bell; the player who rings the bell first collects all face-up piles and adds them to the bottom of their deck. Continue until one player holds all cards or players agree to stop. Follow the included rules for tie situations and for handling incorrect bell presses.

Usage recommendations

Play on a flat surface with enough space for all players to see the face-up piles and access the bell easily. For younger children, play with fewer players or remove rounds with very fast card reveals to reduce pressure. Store cards in their box to keep illustrations clean and the bell accessible for repeated sessions.
