Rules
Variant 1: Compost Heap
- Deal each player an equal number of face-down cards, and place one card face-up in the centre. This forms the start of the compost heap.
- Give a signal to begin, such as shouting “PLAY IT!”. Then, all players flip over the top card from their stack.
- If you see a matching icon between your card and the one in the centre, say the name of the icon out loud and place your card on top of the middle pile. That becomes the new card for everyone to match with.
- The first player to get rid of all their cards onto the compost heap wins!
Variant 2: Growing Plant
- Give each player one face-down card. Place the rest of the deck face-up in the centre.
- Give the start signal (e.g. “PLAY IT!”), then all players turn over their card.
- When you spot a matching icon between your card and the top card in the centre, name the icon and take the top card from the centre stack. Place it on your own pile — your plant is growing! Both your stack and the centre stack now have a new card to match with.
- When the central deck is finished, the player with the tallest stack — the biggest plant — wins the game!
- A tie? Play a quick tiebreaker! Give both players one card and lay 3 more in the middle. Let the duel decide the winner!
Variant 3: Whirlwind
- Deal each player an equal number of face-up cards.
- Give the start signal (e.g. “PLAY IT!”).
- When you spot a matching icon between your top card and another player’s, shout out the icon and place your card on their stack. They must now continue playing with your card on top.
But beware — other players can place cards on your stack too, so stay alert! - The first player to get rid of all their cards onto the other player(s)’ stacks wins — and escapes the whirlwind!
In case of doubt
If multiple players spot a matching icon at the same time, the winner is the one who either placed or picked up their card first (depending on the variant).
Playing Variant 1? Then the point goes to whoever placed their card on the middle stack first.
