Are you quick enough to grab a cork before it’s too late?

What’s in the box?

• 13 colourful corks
• 1 golden cork
• 14 sets of cork playing cards
• Easy-to-follow rules cards

How To Play

• Clear the gameplay area as this is going to get chaotic! Select one fewer cork than the number of players (10 players, 9 corks) and place them on the table so each player can reach them.
• Select the matching sets of cards for the chosen corks and an additional set of cards so that you have the same number of sets as players. Shuffle, and deal 4 cards face down to each player.
• Pick a player to be the CORKER. Their job is to regulate the game. Each time the CORKER shouts “1, 2, 3, GO” each player discards a card to their left, and picks up a card from their right.
• This continues until a player has a set of 4 cork cards the same colour. That player must grab their cork as quickly as possible, and all other players must then grab any cork before they’re all gone.
• The player who doesn’t manage to grab a cork is out of the game, and the round is reset removing one cork, and the matching set of cork cards. Shuffle and deal, and off you go again.

The Winner

• When only 2 players remain, the aim of the game is to outsmart your opponent and be the first to grab the cork when you have a matching set. But beware, they may be misleading you into thinking they’re giving you the card you want when they’re not – so you could end up losing by grabbing the cork when you don’t have a matching set!
