In the bustling studio of Tailor Master, creativity flourishes and dreams take shape. This captivating board game is an invitation to a world where aesthetic intertwines with the recognition of graphics, colors, and the charm of fashion. By deftly pairing 'Clothing Designs' with the intricate patterns on object cards, they tailor their way to victory.
The starting player reveals an Object Card. Both players take the same Clothes Frame or Pants Frame based on the back sign of the Object Card.
Each player find the matching pattern of the Object Card on their own Cloth. And ring the Tap Bell placed in the center of the table immediately after confirming that they have framed the right pattern. Then, both players check together if the pattern found by the player who rang the bell matches the Object Card.
Whoever can match enough cards as quickly and accurately as possible will be the winner. Embedded in this aesthetics studio, the art of fashion comes to life.
