To play Catch the Match, first, lay out all 15 cards on a flat surface. With 2 to 8 players sitting around, everyone starts looking for the matching object between any two cards at the same time. As soon as you spot the pair, quickly say so and claim one of the cards. The game ends when all the cards have been taken, and the player with the most cards wins. Make sure to handle the cards gently to avoid any damage. When you're done playing, put the cards back in the box. Keep the game in a dry and cool place to preserve the quality of the cards. This game is suitable for ages 5 and up, so adults can play with kids for some great family fun. Have a blast playing!
