Match-O
ActiveA popular card game students already know and love β match colors and values to empty your hand
How to Play
Each player is dealt a hand of cards. Cards have a color and a value.
On your turn, play a card that matches the top card's color OR value.
Wild cards let you pick any color. Wild +4 also makes the next player draw 4.
Special cards: Skip (lose your turn), Reverse (flip direction), Draw 2 (next player draws).
When you're down to 1 card, call "Match-O!" β or opponents can penalize you +2 cards.
Empty your hand to win the round. Earn points from opponents' leftover cards. First to the target score wins!
