The game consists of 28 cards representing 7 families each with 4 family members. Each player is dealt 6 cards. If there are 4 or more players in the game, each should receive 5 cards. The remaining cards are placed face-down on the table (the stack).
The object of the game is to collect as many complete families as possible. In order to do this, players must obtain the cards they need from the other players. In order to ask for a particular card, you must already hold a card of the same family in your hand.
The first player requests a card (eg Mr xxx) from an opponent (2nd player) picked at random. If the opponent has the card, he or she must give it to the player who requested it. The first player can then request a second card from the same opponent and this continues for as long as the 2nd player holds the card requested. If he does not hold the card, then the first player takes a card from the top of the stack. Should this correspond to the card he requested, he may take a second card. If not, the turn passes to the last player (to whom the requests were made) and this player must then pick a different opponent.
The winner is the person who succeeds in collecting the greatest number of 4 card families and putting them down on the table.
