How To Play:
Take out all 104 tiles, and lay them face down in the centre of the table. The number of tiles you take are based on the number of people playing:
The objective of the game is to make as many pairs in matching suits as possible. The number of pairs needed to win will change based on the number of players:
2 Players: Winner is the first to make 4 PAIRS of words. 3 Players: Winner is the first to make 3 PAIRS of words. 4 Players: Winner is the first to make 2 PAIRS of words.
Paired words share one letter and must be made of the same patterned tiles.
Once players take the appropriate amount of tiles, someone says “GO!”. The players then proceed to flip their tiles over and start making pairs of words with matching patterns. Words must have at least three letters. When a player has reached the goal, he/she says “PAIRS!” and wins the game.
The amount of pairs required to win with any number of players may be increased or decreased, depending on the skill level of the players.
