- 4 plate boards
- 40 cupcake cards
- 1 recipe board
Setting up the game
- Each player chooses a plate board.
- Spread one of each cupcake card face up on the table.
- Shuffle the rest of the cupcake cards and place them face down in a pile on the table.
To help younger players find the different cards, the ten different cupcake cards are shown on the reverse of the recipe board.
Playing the game
1. Take a card
The youngest player starts. Take a card from the top of the pile.
2. Look at the table
If the cupcake matches one of the cupcakes on the table, pick up the matching card and place the pair face up on your plate.
3. Look at your plate
If the cupcake matches the top cupcake on your plate, add the card to your plate.
If the cupcake matches a cupcake on the table and your plate, add both cards to the pile on your plate.
4. Please and thank you!
If the card does not match one of the face up cupcake cards on the table or the top card on your pile, check to see if the card matches one of the top cards on another player's plate board.
If it does, ask that player "Would you like my cupcake?" The other player should be encouraged to reply "yes please" and say "thank you" as they take the cupcake card to add to their board.
5. No matches
If you pick up a cupcake card which does not match any of the cards (on the table or on top of another players pile), place it face up with the other cards on the table. Play passes to the next player.
The game ends when there are no more cards in the pile to pick up.
6. The winner!
The winner is the player with the most cupcake cards on their plate.
