Gameplay

During the game, the players may make any funny characters, but will need to exchange cards to make a correctly matched person.

The cards are shuffled and placed face downwards in a pile. The youngest player takes a card and places it face upwards in front of them. Play then passes to the next person. Players can only have one of each sort of card in front of them until they have made up a complete mismatched person. For example, if a player has a head card and a body card and then picks up another head card, they must choose which head card to keep and discard the other. The discarded cards are placed in a pile face upwards next to the central pile. Players may then choose a card from either pile. When a player has one complete mismatched person, they can start making a second person. They can only collect two mismatched people at any time. Once a player has two, they have to swap and discard cards in order to make a correctly matched person. When a player has a correctly matched person, that set is moved to one side and play continues. If the cards in the central pile run out, the top card from the discard pile is left face upwards on the table and the other cards are shuffled and returned face downwards to make a new central pile.

N.B. for two players - complete four correctly matched people.

The Winner

The winner is the first player to make three correctly matched people.
