Inspired by classics such as UNO and Switchit
- Players take turns playing one or more matching cards onto a central card.
- The first player to zero cards wins.
Deal each player 7 cards. Place the rest face down to form a draw pile in the middle of the table.
2. Turn over the top card, and place next to the draw pile.
3. Player 1 (to the left of the dealer) may play one card on the central card if a match exists.
A match is:
- the same item/number
- +1 of the item/number on central card
- the same color
- or the same long hand (minutes hand) position on the clock
Players must say the matching element as they play.
“It is pink.”
“It’s 8 o’clock.”
Players may play two or more cards at a time, if they match as a group.
“I have 2 rulers.”
“They are blue.”
4. If no match exists, the player must take one card, and play continues to the next player to the left.
The first player to zero cards wins.
Possible Variations-
When no match exists, instead of taking one card, the player must take as many cards as needed until a match is drawn.
When only one card remains, the player must proclaim “One more card!” or endure a +2 card penalty.
