This is a cooperative game - you will all win or lose together! Play cards to move or swap the order of the kids in the parade. If you can complete a goal number of Parade tiles without running out of Frosty cards, you win the game! See Winning the Game for easy, medium, and hard goals.
Set Up
- Arrange the Kid tiles face-up in a straight line to the right of the Frosty tile, starting with 1 and ending with 6 (the numbers are on the backs).
- Separately shuffle the number 1 deck of Frosty cards and then the number 2 deck of Frosty cards.
- Place the number 1 deck of Frosty cards on top of the number 2 deck of Frosty cards, forming a single Frosty deck, and then place the deck on top of the big Frosty tile.
- Mix up the Parade tiles and place them in a face-down pile, then flip the top tile face-up.
- Each player draws a number of Frosty cards based on the number of players:
- 2 Players: three cards each.
- 3-4 Players: two cards each.
- Each player places their Frosty cards face-up in front of them so all players can see.
The 4-player set up example in the instructions shows the Parade Tiles Draw Pile, the Face-Up Parade Tile, the Frosty Tile with the Frosty Card Draw Deck, the Discard pile, the six Kid tiles numbered 1 to 6, and the face-up Frosty cards held by each player around the table. The diagram is not transcribed here.
The youngest player goes first.
How to Play
Starting with the first player and proceeding clockwise, you can do one of the following three actions on your turn:
- Move a Kid: Play a Frosty card to move that Kid tile FORWARD one spot or BACKWARD one spot in the parade.
- A Kid tile at the front of the parade can only be moved backward, and a Kid tile at the back of the parade can only be moved forward.
- Example (in the instructions): the Kid tile shown moves one spot forward or one spot backward in the row of six tiles.
- Swap: You and another player each play a Frosty card to swap the spots of both Kid tiles in the parade.
- Example (in the instructions): two Kid tiles in the row trade places, with arrows showing the swap in both directions.
- Discard: Discard your Frosty cards and draw two new Frosty cards (or three new cards in a two-player game).
End of Turn
After your turn is over, you and any player that helped swap Kid tiles this turn each draw a Frosty card.
If at the end of the turn, each Kid tile in the parade matches the order shown on the current Parade tile, you complete that Parade tile and set it to the side.
Hocus Pocus
The Hocus Pocus card is wild and can be played as any kid.
Winning the Game
The number of Parade tiles you must complete depends on the difficulty you choose to play:
- For an easy game, you must complete three Parade tiles.
- For a medium game, you must complete four Parade tiles.
- For a hard game, you must complete all five Parade tiles.
If you can complete the goal number of Parade tiles before you run out of Frosty cards in the Frosty deck, and in all players' hands, you win the game!
