ITS EASY TO PLAY!!

The various characters in the Kmakici family are on the cards in different combinations.

Players draw and play cards to the table from a hand of three, trying to build sets of five :different characters. If a player places a card which completes a set of five, they draw a token :from the end of a line.

The tokens show a grilled steak initially, but on the hidden side are sweets, cakes and teatime treats.

Players are trying to get four different treats to win the game outright.

However, if a player cannot or will not play a card, they draw a steak, which, being unsuitable for a tea party, counts as negative points.

If all the tokens are claimed without a direct winner, then the player with fewest steaks wins.
