HOW TO
COMPLETE A SET
Word Worm®:
If the play card character is
Word Worm: Use the letter on the play card (for example,
"F")...
AND the letters on ANY of your cards (for example, "U" and
"N")...
to spell a word. "F U N" (Sample Word Worm Set)
Special rules: Your word can include any mix of set
cards and free cards, and the letter on the play card can appear
anywhere in your word. Your word can be as long or short as
you want, but you can play only one word per turn.
Data Head®: If the play card
character is Data Head: Use the number on the play card
(for example, "5")...
AND the numbers on ANY of your cards (for example, "3" and
"3")....
to add to 11. "5, 3, 3" (Sample Data Head Set)
Special rules: You can use as many or few cards as you
want, including any mix of set cards and free cards, but your set
must add to 11 exactly.
Creative Cat®: If the play
card character is Creative Cat: Use the puzzle piece on the
play card (for example, the center piece)...
AND the puzzle pieces on ANY of your cards (for example, the
left and right pieces)... to complete the puzzle.
Special Rules: Your completed puzzle can include any mix
of set cards and free cards. After you complete one puzzle,
you may complete another if you have one of each piece in your
hand.
Star Performer®: If the play
card character is Star Performer: Use the Instrument on the
play card (for example, the drums)... AND the
instruments on ANY of your cards (for example, as many drums as
you have)... to complete a set.
Special Rules: A complete set can include any number of
matching set cards (even if you have only one matching card). You
can also use free cards.
Free Cards: Free cards can be
used to complete sets by representing one letter, one
number (1 to 10), one piece of Creative Cat, or one
musical instrument.
Sample Word Worm set with a Free card: F *freecard*
N.
Sample Data Head set with a Free card: 3 *freecard* 5.
Sample Creative Cat set with a Free card: 2 puzzle pieces and a Free
Card.
Sample Star Performer set with a Free card: The same
musical Instruments (example, drums) and free card.
Special Rules:
-
You can use more than one free
card in a set.
-
When you use a free card in a set,
explain how you are using it.
-
A free card can't be used as an
action card.
-
If you leave a free card as the play
card, turn over a new play card from the deck.
HOW TO FINISH YOUR TURN WHEN YOU PLAY A
SET
Place your set on top of the play card. The card you leave
on top is the play card for the next player. If you leave a
free card on top, turn over a new play card for the next player.
Now your turn is over. The player to your left goes next.
HOW ACTION CARDS WORK
-
Draw 2 or Draw 3 - When you play
a draw card, the next player draws the number of cards shown
from the deck.
-
Dodge - Use a dodge card to
dodge a draw card or to avoid drawing a card when you can't
complete a set. When you dodge a draw card, the next player
must draw or play a dodge card. You can't dodge a draw
card after you draw the cards.
-
Bounce - When you play a bounce
card, the order of play changes from clockwise to
counterclockwise, or the other way around. IF you play a
bounce card after the player before you plays a draw card, the order
of play reverses and the player who played the draw card has to
draw the cards.
Special Rules:
-
You can play only one action card per
turn.
-
Whenever an action card is the play
card, turn over a new play card from the deck.
HOW TO FINISH YOUR TURN WHEN YOU PLAY AN
ACTION CARD
The next player completes the action, then turns over a new
player card from the deck. Now your turn is over. The
player to your left goes next.
Winning: If you are the first player
to get rid of all your cards, you win!
