​
Materials needed:
Setup:
-
Print and cut out category cards.
-
Shuffle the deck and place it face down in the center.
Gameplay:
-
Players take turns drawing one card at a time and placing it face up in front of them. Each card has a category and a symbol.
-
If the symbol on their card matches another player's card, a Face-Off occurs between those two players.
-
The two or more matching players must quickly say an example of the other player's category (not their own). The first player to do so correctly wins the round.
-
The winner takes the opponent's top card and places it in their personal score pile.
-
The winner leaves their own card in place and keeps playing.
-
When a card is removed after a Face-Off, it might reveal a new matching symbol between other players. If this happens, another Face-Off immediately occurs.
-
The game ends when the draw pile is empty. The player with the most cards wins.
