The rules for“MEAT YOUR MATCH” are very simple. It’s a matching(memory) game where you flip over cards that are all face down, and if you match two cards featuring the same meat, you get to keep them.

From the moment the first card is flipped, all players get excited, thinking, “There’s no way we can remember all these!” Yet, within 5 to 10 minutes of play, everyone learns to distinguish the different meats—it’s a game with a truly unique feel.

You can also play using the rules of “Old Meat(Old Maid)” or the traditional Japanese “karuta” game.

Gameplay that’s easy enough for even board game beginners to enjoy without having to think too hard. It’s perfectly balanced for busy modern people who want to open it and have fun right away—whether during lunch breaks, after school, or at a party—whenever and wherever you like.
