How to start How do we play? • On the back of the first card is the first game room. • In this room, there are numbers that correspond to the cards in the deck. • Each time you spot a number or letter on the room card (or on another card), you must go and look for the corresponding card in the deck and reveal it. • The revealed cards are placed face up at the centre of the table so that everyone can see them.
