Getting Started

The first time you play, take the game parts out of their wrappings. Remove the 4 reference cards from the deck. Discard all waste. Arrange the game tiles in a 3x3 square. This is your gameboard. Separate the cards by color into 3 decks. Shuffle each deck and place it facedown near the gameboard. Keep the 2 reference cards handy during the game.

Playing

Decide who will take the first turn. Play will then move to the left.

ON YOUR TURN

First, roll the color die. Then draw a card from the deck that matches the color you rolled. Each deck gives you a different kind of mission. See THE MISSION CARDS.

THE ACTION SYMBOLS

Some cards have symbols on the back that require you to switch, flip or rotate the game tiles. If you’ve drawn one of these, do this now. Switch the location of any two tiles. Flip over any tile.

Rotate any tile.

THE MISSION CARDS GREEN: Personal. You’re on your own! • Read the mission aloud, then roll the number die. To win this card, you must find the number of objects rolled. • Now flip over the timer and start looking! Point to each object you find, and keep track of how many you’ve found. Success! If you find enough objects before time runs out, you keep the card. Your turn is over. Sorry! If time runs out before you find enough objects, place the card out of play. Your turn is over. RED: Outbid. The highest bidder gets to play. Be careful- If you bid too high and lose, you will have to sacrifice one of your cards (if you have any). • Without looking at the mission, decide how many of the objects you think you can find before time runs out. Then either bid or pass. • The player to your left either bids higher or passes. Bidding continues until each player has either bid or passed. The high bidder now reads the mission aloud, flips over the timer and starts looking. Success! If you find enough objects before time runs out, you keep the card. The turn is over.

BLUE: Find it First. Everyone gets to play. • Turn the card faceup for everyone to see. It shows an object that appears only once on the gameboard. • Now all players quickly look for the object. The player who finds it first yells “Pictureka!” That player keeps the card. The turn is over.

Winning

Keep playing until one player has collected 6 cards. This player wins the game!
