Objective

Steal the bacon! The player with 10 pieces of bacon wins!

Setup

Shuffle and distribute all the breakfast food cards evenly among players. It does not matter if one player has more than another. Each player's stack should be in front of them, face down.

Place the bacon piece in the center of the table.

Place the bacon cards off to the side where they rest in the "bacon pan."

How to Play

The player to the dealer's left goes first. Moving clockwise, players take turns flipping over cards and chanting the phrase "Steal! The! Bacon!" until one of the following happens:

• If two cards do not match, but a player flinches (by starting to reach for the bacon, even if they don't touch it), they must return a bacon card to the bacon pan.
• If a player runs out of cards in their hand, simply shuffle and reuse the pile with the cards face down, as before.
• If a player who does not have a match grabs the bacon, they must return a bacon card to the bacon pan.

It's a Match!

If the food on a flipped card matches another player's card, then those players immediately race to grab the bacon! The player who successfully takes the bacon receives a bacon card. That player begins the next round by saying the word "Steal!" and play continues.

Special Cards

If one of the special characters is on a card, players must act according to the rules.

Bacon Thief

• Action: All players race to steal the bacon.

Clap Clap Flapjack

• Action: All players must clap twice and then race to steal the bacon.

Awful Waffle

• Action: It's a trap! Players must leave the bacon alone. Any player who touches the bacon must return a piece to the bacon pan.

When the special action is completed (or if no one attempts to steal the bacon when Awful Waffle is played), the person who played the special card begins the next round by turning a card over and saying the word, "Steal!"

Additional Rules

• If multiple players both grab the bacon at the same time, it goes to the player who has the most "bacon coverage".
• Players must flip their card outwards, and not peek at the card prior to playing it.

Ending the Game

The game ends when one person has 10 bacon cards, or when the last piece of bacon in the bacon pan is taken.

Game involves physical contact. Play at your own risk.
