Matching Cards - Colours and Shapes

Conga

Players take turns to  match  cards by placing them face up in a circle or along a line on the table next to a similarly coloured pattern or shape, . 
The player who finishes first after using all his cards, wins the game and claims the prize.

 

Snap

Players match two  cards with the same pattern, colour and shape.

For this game all the cards from the two-packet set of cards are evenly distributed amongst players, with the last card left face up on the table. Each player in turn places a card onto the centre pile. When two cards match, ANY PLAYER can claim the pack by placing his hand onto the pile and shouting out -SNAP-. That player can then pick up and use the cards from the pile and the game continues. The game ends when one player has no cards left to play and none to snap up. The winner is the person who has SNAPPED UP the most cards by the end of the game. 

Flower Pots

The  flower pots,  are made of the same design on the base of at least three cards. Either as similarly coloured shapes or as  similarly coloured patterns. The other half of the designs with the different colours, patterns and shapes are the flowers. (please see the illustration). Players place cards onto the table in groups of three or more. Cards which are used in flower pots are worth a point each. When a player starts by placing a flowerpot with five or more cards - double the point score.

For this game each player is given eight cards and the other cards are left in reserve,  face down on the table—to be picked up when needed.  To start, each player puts down a flower pot group, discards a card and replenishes his hand from the reserve pile. The game then moves to the next player.  At the next round the player can make another flower pot group or add to his existing group. However if he is holding at least two flower pot cards, he can pickup another player's existing flowerpot group from the table and add these to his, thus collecting the total point score. The player who finishes with the most flower pots and the largest point score at the end of the game, wins the game and claims the prize.
