Setup
- Give players a chance to look through all the Past and Present Tense pairs from this rule booklet.
- Separate the cards into 2 decks (Deck A and B).
- Choose only a deck to play (A or B). Shuffle and place the Present Tense cards face down in the middle of the table. This is the match pile.
- Shuffle the Past Tense and the Surprise cards together, then place them face down as another pile in the middle of the table. This is the slap pile.
Game play
- The oldest player starts by flipping over to show a card from the match pile.
- This player then flips over a card from the slap pile. If there’s a match or surprise card, players can slap it.
- If there is no match, continue taking turns flipping over the slap pile until there’s a match.
- If a player slaps a Surprise card, he uses it immediately and then discards it.
- If a player slaps a matching card, he keeps both the Past Tense and Present Tense cards.
- The player, who kept the matching cards, starts the next round by flipping over a new card from the match pile, then one from the slap pile. (Same as step 1 and 2)
- If there’s no more cards in the slap pile, reshuffle the unclaimed Past Tense and Surprise cards back into the Slap Pile, then continue the game.
- Continue playing until one player has gotten 3 pairs of cards!
Some rules related to slapping:
- When more than one player slaps a card from the slap pile, the player who slapped the fastest wins the pair. Continue playing until one player has gotten 3 pairs of cards!
- When a player slaps the wrong cards 3 times, that player must give up a pair of cards (returning each card to the bottom of its pile).
Slap on Surprise cards?
- LIKEABLE YOU – Choose a player to give you a pair of cards. Ignore this if no other players have cards.
- LOVABLE YOU – Each player gives you a pair of cards. Ignore this for players who have no cards.
- FUTURE YOU – Look at the next 5 cards in the slap pile. (Don’t show anyone else, then put the cards back.)
- GENEROUS YOU – You give a pair of cards to someone of your choice. Ignore this if you don’t have any cards.
- STOPPING YOU – Keep this card. Use it any time to stop another player from using a Surprise card (use once only).
Note: The player you stopped has to discard the Surprise card. All the Surprise cards except STOPPING YOU must be used immediately. Once a Surprise card is used, discard it.
Winner
The goal is to be the first to win 3 pairs of cards.
