How to use

Shuffle the illustrated deck and deal the appropriate number of cards to each player according to the rules. On a turn, a player asks a specific opponent for cards of a chosen rank; if the opponent has cards of that rank they must hand them over, allowing the asker to form sets. If the opponent does not have the requested rank, the asker draws from the deck. Completed sets are laid face up and collected. Continue turns until the deck is exhausted and all sets are formed; the player with the most sets wins. The game can be adapted in time or difficulty by changing hand sizes or by modifying which ranks are in play.

Usage recommendations

For faster games, reduce initial hand sizes or limit the number of ranks in play. Supervise younger children to explain turns and card requests, and keep cards in a protective sleeve or storage box for travel to maintain card condition.
