HOW TO PLAY

Match –1 Player

• Lay out any one of the packs, face up on the floor. • Take any other pack and match one by one to the cards on the floor.• Optionally, continue to the third pack to create complete sets.

Memory –1-4 Players

• Lay out 2/3 packs face down in rows.• Take turns to turn over two cards to try to get a match. • If a player gets a match, they keep those cards.• Continue until all the cards are gone, the winner is the one with the most cards.

Snap – 2-3 Players

• Start with one pack per player.• Each player turns over a card from their own pack simultaneously.• If two cards match, the first player to say “Snap!” and slap the cards, gets all the cards added to their pack.• If playing with three players any player can call “Snap!” on any two matching cards. They keep those two piles (not all the piles, just the ones that match).• The winner is the one who gains all the cards, or the most cards when time is up.

Crazy La's – 2-4 Players

• Shuffle together all three packs (or only two if desired).• If playing with 2 players, deal 7 cards each. If playing with 3/4 players, deal 5 cards each.• Place the remaining cards in the centre, face down. Turn over a single card.• The player to the left of the dealer starts by placing a matching card on top of the card that is face up. A matching card is either the same note name (in any form).• If the player does not have a match, they should take a card from the pile, until they have a match.• ‘La’s are wild, a ‘la’ of any type, can be placed on any card. After a ‘la’ has been placed, the next player should still follow the previous card before the ‘la’ was played.• The winner is the first to get rid of all their cards.
