About the game
In Match Me!: What color is this?, all players co-operate, trying to put down cards of the same color in the same order. When the lead player says a word from a subject card, what color do you think matches that? Everyone has their own ideas, so things might get confused — and the color cards are placed face-down, so who knows what to think? When all the players have placed five of their cards face-down, the cards are turned up and checked. If the cards all have the same color in the same order, all players win! The game can be played at different skill levels, and as you play, the game gets harder. But for variation, you could choose to play an easy game, or a very hard game.
