Color Bunch

Color Bunch

  • Description

    A children's game about colors. The deck has 34 play cards and 2 rules cards. There are solid-color cards for the primary and secondary colors (yellow, orange, red, purple, blue, green), and wild cards with 6 color stripes; there are 5 each except 4 for purple. Two games are described:

    Game I: Rummy-like. Deal 5 each, and turn up the top of the draw pile. In a turn, a player draws from the draw or discard pile. If they can, they lay down a Color Bunch -- either 3 of a kind, or 4 different colors -- discarding one after. (Presumably you don't discard if you don't lay down.) The first to empty his hand wins.

    Game II: Like Memory/Concentration. Lay all the cards face down in a rectangle. In a turn a player exposes 2 cards; if they match he keeps them and turns over 2 more, etc,; if the don't match they go back down and his turn ends. When all possible matches are made, the player with the most cards wins.
