How to play
1. Set up the table
Place three cards face up in the centre, then deal the rest evenly. Each player keeps their deck face down.
2. Flip, match and call it
Everyone flips together. Spot a matching chameleon, border colour or background pattern, call it out and play your card on that pile.
3. Empty your deck first
The first player to shed every card wins. If nobody finishes, the player with the fewest cards left wins.
