Card Matching Race

Can be played in teams or 1 v 1

Need to have a deck of cards. Prepare:

• 4x aces
• 4x twos
• 2x threes
• 2x fours
• 2x fives

Also lay down 7 cards face down which will indicate the number the steps that need to be travelled to win.

Finally, each player/team has a token that starts off the 7 steps.

Shuffle the extracted cards and lay them face down in a 5 x 3 grid.

Players/teams take turns to reveal a pair of cards. If they match, they can move their token that many spaces forwards OR that many spaces divided by 2 (rounded down) backwards.

The aim is to land their token on the final step exactly. If a token would overshoot the final step, they move backwards. E.g. If the token is on the 5th step and it moves forwards 3, it would go 6, 7 then back to 6.

First team to land their token on the final step wins. If all cards are matched before a team accomplishes this, its a draw.
