Description

Each player has several face down piles of four random cards in their play area. A central "gator pit" of four face up cards sits between the players.

During play, each player picks up a pile from their play area and checks to see if any of the cards in the "gator pit" are a match. If so, players swap out non-matching cards for cards that match.

The goal is to end up with all piles having only one type of card in each (for example, one pile would have four basketball cards, another four baseball cards, etc).

Involves memory (which pile has cards matching the cards in the gator pit) and matching skills utilized in simultaneous play.
