The Cards
Each card shows a face on each side. All faces in the game are different, but all are made up of combinations of the same 8 hairstyles, 8 pairs of eyes, 8 noses, and 8 mouths.
Set Up
Set aside 1 card and distribute the remaining cards evenly between the players. Any surplus cards are put to one side.
The Game
Once everybody is ready the game starts. You do not take turns, you just play as fast as you can.
You can have all of your cards in your hands, or you can leave some of them in a pile next to you. Remember that you can use both sides of the cards.
Take the card that you set aside, turn it over and place it at the center of the game board. Now all players look for cards that have at least one match in either hair, eyes, nose, or mouth. When you find a card with a matching part on it, place it on the corresponding part of the game board. If someone else places a card in the spot you are trying to play on before you place your card, then you must play something else.
Board diagram (Face Chase board, as illustrated in the rulebook): the center card is surrounded by four spaces labelled HAIR (top), EYES (left), NOSE (right) and MOUTH (bottom). Example: card A matches the mouth of the card in the middle of the board, so it is placed on the MOUTH position. Card B matches the hair of the card in the middle of the board, so it is placed on the HAIR position.
When all four spaces on the game board have been filled (or when no player can make any more matches), remove the cards on the game board and continue the game by taking one of those cards and using the other side of it as the new center card.
Winning
Whoever gets rid of all their cards first wins!
Variation
Do not use the game board. Place one card on the table and distribute the remaining cards evenly. When everybody is ready, flip the card over. Now as soon as you find a card with one or more matches of hair, eyes, nose, or mouth, place that card on top and play continues with the new card until a player runs out of cards and wins the game.
