Troubleshooting

Child is not understanding the matching concept.

Start by playing one-on-one with the child, demonstrating how to match by color first, then by shape. Use verbal cues like 'This is red, do you have a red card or a red animal?'

Game is too slow with multiple players.

Ensure players understand they need to match the *top* card of the discard pile. For younger groups, consider playing with fewer cards to speed up the game.

Cards are getting lost.

Keep all cards within the playing area and ensure the box is readily available for storage after play.
