Match Me!

The aim of the game is to get 6 matching cards. They can either be the same color, number or letter. (Example: You have 6 cards in your hand that include a 3.)

The game begins by dealing each player three cards and placing the rest of the deck face down in the middle of everyone. Youngest player is dealer. Once dealt, dealer goes first. The player picks up a card from the deck and then chooses a card from their hand to pass to the player on their left. (You may not pass “Nothing!” cards.) The player on the left then does the same. These two moves of picking up a card and passing one to the left continues clockwise throughout all the players until someone has 6 matching cards. When somebody gets 6 matching cards they yell “MATCH ME!” and lay their cards on the table face up. This ends the current round. The winner of the round chooses a player to be eliminated and exit the game. A new round begins with the remaining players. The winner of the previous round is now dealer. The same rules apply in each round until one player is left and crowned the MATCH ME! champion.

If no one gets 6 matching cards and the deck runs out then the person with the fewest matching cards is eliminated. If multiple players tie, they are all eliminated. Silver cards are not considered a color. Only blue, green, orange and purple. Remember to reshuffle between rounds.
