About the Game

Motley is a small box, 27 card party game, where each card has a unique abstract layout of 5 patterns on one side with 3 listed categories on the other side. Gameplay can be competitive or cooperative, but is always fast and fun!

Play revolves around a clue giver selecting a category from among the cards in hand and laying out the remaining cards so as to arrange the patterns to feature something from the chosen category. Guessing the clue gains the category card as a point for either individual or team.

The motley selection of categories and patterns allows for limitless clues that will leave players scratching their heads, shouting answers, and excited to attempt different card arrangements.
