PURA VIDA MONSTERS
Ages: 2 - 5
Players: 2 - 5
Cards: All
Aim: Score as much points as possible by forming monsters.
Set Up: Separate the cards into three piles: heads, bodies and feet. Shuffle each group and place it face down in the center as follows: heads at the top; bodies at the middle and feet at the bottom. Each player will take a card from each pile and will place it face up in front of them in the same position of the center piles.
Let´s Play: Clockwise, starting with the youngest and taking turns, each player will draw a card per turn from the center pile of their choice and will put it over their own same body part´s pile. To form a monster you must have head, body and feet with the same color or symbol.
Each monster formed scores one point. Except the half-moon characters that score 2 points and The Pelona and The Sloth that score 3 points.
The Sloth is also a wildcard; besides forms itself, its body parts can form any character as long as the body part corresponds. In this case it scores the value of the character helped to form. When two or more players score the same it is a tied.
Have paper and pencil on hand to keep the score during the game.
