It is a card game with 76 very large playing cards (Approx. 3" x 4"). Of these, 64 are marked with all combinations of the numbers 1-4, each color of blue, red, purple and green, and either a circle, star, square or triangle.

The rest of the cards are either Wild, Super Wild, Pass or Show cards, in some combination of the three characteristics that the main cards represent.

It's box is approximately 4.5" x 6" x 1". Instructions are in English, French and Spanish, and fit on both sides of a 4" x 6" sheet of paper (per language).

2-4 Players.
The box claims 4-104 as appropriate ages for the game, but the rules are possibly too sophisticated for a child under 6 or 8 years of age.

The object of the game is to gain the most points after 5 rounds of play. Each player starts with 100 points, and each round a player may both gain or lose points, depending on game play.
