I personally vote for this game as one of the most fun card games you can play but...
It is a card game based on your reflexes and your ability to recognise patterns and act upon them before your opponent does so.
As you can see in the picture, you have four colors and four shapes.
The rules are simple. Whoever runs out of cards first wins.
You start the game by splitting up the cards randomly between you. You aren't supposed to know the order of the cards, so do it face down. This is your deck. You both draw your three cards and then you both flip over a card from the top of your deck to make two discard piles. The game now begins.
You can have a maximum of 3 cards in your hand at any one time. You can draw any time you have less than 3 cards in your hand.
You have to match a card in your hand with the top card of either discard pile. To match they have to be either the same color, or the same shape. You don't take turns, as soon as you can discard a card on top of the pile, you do it fast. If you're too slow, your opponent might place down their card before you, thus making you unable to place your card. If they beat you and your card isn't a legal move anymore, you have to take your card back!
If you both are stuck and unable to put down another card, flip over a card from your deck.
You can play with more than 2 players.
This game is most fun when there is an audience yelling and screaming, "Color, Color, Shape, Shape" to make it abundantly clear what you're missing and adding to the pressure of this high paced game.
One recommendation I'm going to make. Get some protective sleeves for your game. One's that fit YuGiOh sized cards work best. With the game being so fast paced, the cards see a fair bit of wear and tear. Then again, most of my friends who have this game just picked up a couple of copies since the price is so cheap.
While most card games are aimed at children, adults are actually going to enjoy this game more. I thoroughly recommend this game.
