25 Objective cards, 24 Player cards (6 sets of 4 cards), rules sheet.
Objective and Goal of the Game
At the start of each round, an Objective card is revealed. Players must then be the first to combine their cards so that only the items shown on the Objective card remain visible. The player who does so wins the Objective card, and a new round begins.
As soon as a player wins their fifth Objective card, they immediately win the game.
Setup (fig. 1)
Each player receives a set of 4 Player cards of the same colour (or bearing the same symbol).
The 25 Objective cards are shuffled and placed face down as a pile in the centre of the table.
Playing the Game
One of the players turns over the first Objective card from the pile and places it beside the pile (fig. 2). All players must then position their cards as quickly as possible so as to line up the 3 or 4 items (and only those items) shown on the round's Objective card.
The order of the items does not matter; they may even be upside down. However, the combination of Player cards must show only the items shown on the Objective card, no more and no less. To do this, players may turn their cards over, overlay them in any direction, and so on.
Example of a Turn (fig. 3)
a) The Objective card is revealed.
b) To reach this objective, only 2 of the 4 Player cards need to be used (the other 2 are set aside).
c) Since only the items shown on the Objective card may be visible, each player tries to overlay their 2 cards so as to hide the unneeded item.
As soon as a player believes they have succeeded in combining the 3 or 4 required items, they tap the Objective card and shout "Picmix":
- If that player has indeed succeeded, they win the round's Objective card and place it on the table in front of them.
- If they were mistaken, they must return one previously won Objective card (if they have any). That card, together with the round's Objective card, is placed at the bottom of the Objective card pile.
The winner of the round turns over a new Objective card, and a new round begins.
End of the Game
As soon as a player wins their fifth Objective card, they immediately win the game.
Variant
For younger or beginner players, it is possible to sort the Objective cards so that only those showing 3 items are used.
