Components
- 48 "Artist" cards, distributed as follows: 8 clowns, 8 sea lions, 8 elephants, 8 bears, 8 acrobats and 8 magicians.
- 2 "Game Rules" cards.
Object of the Game
Have built the longest parade at the end of the game.
Setup
Shuffle the 48 "Artist" cards and spread them face down on the table in an unordered arrangement (no grid).
Playing the Game
The youngest player starts. He turns over a card of his choice so that it is visible to all the other players.
He may:
- Place the card in front of him, face up, and then turn over a new card.
- Put the card back face down, in the place where it was taken.
A player may decide to turn over and place several cards in front of him one after another, provided that he can add each of them to his parade. Once he has decided to put a card back face down, his turn is over and the player to his left proceeds in the same way.
As soon as a player has at least one card in front of him, he may:
- Continue his parade with an identical artist;
- Place a new artist, thereby starting a new group.
If he cannot or does not want to choose either of these two options, he must put the turned-over card back in its original place.
BUT BEWARE!
It is forbidden to have more than one group of the same category in a parade...
End of the Game
The game stops when:
- All the cards have been taken; or
- No player can add any more cards to his parade.
The game then moves to the scoring phase. Each player counts the number of artists in his parade.
Winner
The player who has the greatest number of cards in his parade wins the game.
In case of a tie, the winner is the player who has the most artists of one and the same group. If there is still a tie, the sizes of each tied player's second-largest group are compared, and so on. If, after comparing the size of all the groups, players are still tied, the youngest player wins.
