About the game

Players use over-sized cards to "join" partners' body parts- elbows, heads, legs, or feet. Partners take turns drawing cards which identify the body parts to join and the partners must do so without causing existing cards to drop. The card must be kept between the two body parts at all times. Partners are eliminated if they allow 2 cards to fall.
