Setup
All players take part in assembling the board. Place the circular piece in the centre and fit the other pieces around it. In this way every game is played with the images placed in different positions.
Assemble the box by fitting the cardboard into the base, and place inside all of the illustrated cards. Shuffle them. Choose a game master, who may also take part in the game.
The board stays in the centre, at equal distance from all the players. Each player receives 3 markers of the same colour and places them in front of them on the table.
Everything is ready and the game can begin.
How to Play
The game master deals 3 cards to each player, without showing them. Each player places their cards face down in front of them on the table.
At a signal, each player looks at their images and tries to find them on the board. Each time a player finds one, they place one of their coloured markers on it, until they have placed all three markers.
As soon as a player has placed their three markers, they say "gagné" (won) and the game stops immediately.
Each player keeps the illustrated cards they had time to find. The other cards are returned to the box, which is then shuffled. The game master, who may also play, deals 3 new cards to each player, and a new round begins.
If a player makes a mistake by placing a marker on the board, they are penalised and must, as a result, give up one of their won cards.
A player who repeatedly prevents the other players from seeing the board is also penalised.
The player who has gathered 25 cards wins the game.
Other Way to Play
Put all the cards into the box and shuffle them well. Each player receives one marker and leaves it on the table in front of them.
The game master takes a card and shows it to all the players at the same time. They immediately start searching the board for the picture.
The first player to find the picture places their marker on it on the board, and the game stops. The player who placed a marker on the board removes it and takes the card.
If a player makes a mistake by placing a marker on the board, they are penalised and must give up one of their won cards.
A player who repeatedly prevents the other players from seeing the board is also penalised.
The winner is the player who has collected the greatest number of cards once all the cards have been shown.
