About the game
The latest edition of Split published by Hasbro is similar to the previous edition (Split), except that now the goal has changed. The goal is no longer to connect across the board (which no longer comes with the game), but to garner the most points by collecting perfect, strong, and weak matches. When a match is made, the player gets a special action, depending on the match. Perfect matches allow the player to force another player to fill in a negative box on his scoresheet, strong matches allow the player to draw a card from the draw pile, and weak matches allow the player to exchange matches of the same type. More than one match may be made each turn and a special scoresheet is used to keep track of points.
