How to use

Set out the player cards and load the calling device with the picture tiles. Players take turns activating the dispenser to reveal tiles and check their cards for matching images.

Rounds continue until a player completes the required pattern on their card and is declared the winner. The simple mechanics allow new players to learn quickly through a practice round.

Usage recommendations

Use on a flat surface with adequate lighting to ensure images on tiles and cards are clearly visible. For younger children, play with fewer tiles or use larger table space to make matching easier. Store tiles in the dispenser between sessions to keep components organized and to speed setup.
