OBJECT OF THE GAME
Get rid of all your cards by matching colors,
patterns, numbers, and shapes.
GET TO KNOW THE CARDS
Each card has a color, pattern,
number, and shape.
In this example, the color is green,
the pattern is stripes, the number is three,
and the shape is a lily pad.
GET READY
1. Shufe the deck and deal seven cards to each player.
2. Turn over the top card and place it face up.
This is the play card. Set aside the rest of the cards.
3. The person whose birthday is coming up next rolls the die rst.
HOW TO PLAY
1. In each round, try to match the color, pattern, number, or shape
on the play card. The die shows which of these to match.
2. Roll the die. Any player with a card that correctly matches
the play card can throw it down! If you roll a wild, you can
match the color, pattern, number, or shape of the play card.
If there are no matches, roll the die again.
3. The rst person to play a matching card wins the round and
leaves the card face up. This is the next play card.
4. The person who won the round rolls the die for the next round.
5. Keep repeating rounds until someone runs out of cards.
Shufe the cards and play again.
HOW TO WIN
The rst player to get rid of all their
cards twice wins Matching Madness!
