Each player turns over a card showing it to the other players and then places it on their game board if it matches one of their pictures. If it doesn't match the card is returned face down to the table and the next player takes their turn. Play continues in this way until one person has filled all the spaces on their board and is the winner.

For slightly older players the cards are shuffled and placed face down in a pile and players take it in turn to pick up a card from the top of the pile. They show it to the other players and it is given to the person with the matching picture to place on their board. Play continues until one person has filled their card.

The game can also be played as a simple 'pairs' game trying to pick pairs of matching pictures or colours from cards face down on the table.The game helps with colour and word recognition as well as social skills. It has bright clear illustrations which young children will find very appealing. It is made from durable thick card and is suitable for 2 to 4 players aged from just 2 years old.
