📖 About This Game
This is a children's game of number matching and simple addition. There are four suits (Green, Blue and Red each have cards numbered 2-10, and Yellow has cards numbered 2-5) but there are no rules for different suits, oddly enough. There are also four "Lucky One" cards that don't belong to any suit.
On your turn you either match cards on the table (you start the game with three cards on the table) and so put them into your pile, or play a card that is the sum of two cards on the table and so put those cards into your pile, or add a card to the table. At the end of the game, the player with the most cards in his/her pile gets 3 points; each Lucky One you collected gets you one point, and the Lucky Two and Lucky Ten are worth two points each (there are only one of each of these).
The cards are illustrated with crudely drawn cartoon images of Laurel & Hardy, alas - photos would have made the game worthwhile for adults, at least as a collector's item.
