About the game
In the card-matching game Banana Boy VS Uni-Cone, you can put the world back together in wacky ways, although ideally you can make a match. To set up, spread the 32 double-sided cards on the table. On a turn, flip over two cards. If the two cards match in color, collect one of the cards — and if the picture matches as well, collect both cards! Try to remember what was on the other side of cards flipped and left behind because you can flip them on future turns. At any time, you can reserve a card by placing your finger on it and keeping it their until the start of the next turn when you must flip this card, along with one other. When at most six cards remain, the game ends, and whoever collected the most cards wins. (For a shorter game, you can play with only half the cards.)
