About the game
Like the arcade game PAC-MAN the Card Game is a colorful and simple game with mass appeal. It's a brand new PAC experience that will quickly get you hooked. Contents: 108 cards (across 2 decks) There are three ways to play: Stage 1: Beginners | 2–4 players | 5–15 min Your aim is to get the most points without being knocked out by ghosts. Fruit and PAC-dot cards are worth points; power up cards have special rules, like having two players swap hands; and three ghost cards will knock you out of the game! Stage 2: Advanced | 2–4 players | 5–15 min Mastered the Level 1 deck? Challenge yourself with the Level 2 deck, which has more ghosts and stronger power ups! Bonus Stage | Up to 8 players | 15–25 min In this version of the game, you can combine both decks to play with up to 8 players
