⚙️ Setup
Prepare the Pieces: Insert the character playing pieces into their plastic stands.
 
Assign Spaces: Each player chooses a playing piece and sits near one of the four designated Player Squares on the board corners. Place all character pieces on the Start space.
 
Distribute Cards: Place one picture card face-up on every single colored space on the board path. Ensure the background colour of the picture card matches the colour of the square it sits on.
 
🎲 How to PlayThe youngest player typically goes first, and gameplay proceeds clockwise.
 
Spin and Move: On your turn, spin the arrow spinner and move your playing piece forward along the path the indicated number of spaces.
 
Collecting Your First Card: The first time you land on a space with a picture card, pick it up and place it face-up on your personal Player Square.
 
Making a Match: On subsequent turns, you can only collect a picture card if it shares a letter or matches the colour of the top card currently sitting on your Player Square stack.
 
Stacking Cards: When you successfully collect a new card, place it directly on top of your stack. Only the card on top is active for making future colour or letter matches. If you land on a card that doesn't match your top card, leave it on the board and end your turn.
 
Advanced Variant: For an extra challenge, players can look through their collected stack before spinning and choose which of their cards to place on top.
 
🏆 Winning the Game
 
The game does not end when the first person finishes. Instead, players keep spinning and moving until the very last player reaches the Finish space. Once everyone completes the track, players count their collected tiles. The player with the most picture cards wins the game.
