Spot when the total of the same fruit matches the number in the middle, then be the first to claim NUMBA!

Below example with 4 players:

Set Up

The game is automatically set up with each player given a pile of face down game cards.

The game cards have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 of apples, bananas, oranges or strawberries.

Each player is given a colour which is shown in the top right list of players. The game cards of each player are highlighted with their colour.

Under each pile of game cards shows:
Hand: The hand total which is how many face down game cards are in that player’s pile.
Table: The total number of game cards that player has flipped over from face down to face up.

The player that starts the game is automatically chosen and that player is shown at the top of the screen.

The top of the screen shows the player whose turn it is.

Your pile of game cards will flash when it is your turn to play a game card.

Play

If the total number of the same fruit across the face up game cards of all players equals the number card in the middle, claim NUMBA! by clicking on the number card in the middle.

The first player to claim NUMBA! collects all the piles of face up game cards and those cards get added to the bottom of their pile of face down game cards.

Collect all the game cards to win the game.

When it is your turn your pile of game cards will flash. Click your pile of cards to flip over your top game card.

Rules

If you claim NUMBA! and the total number of the same fruit is not the same as the number card in the middle, then each player receives one of your face down game cards.

If you run out of face down game cards you are out of the game.

If there are three or more players, when two players are left in the game:

• The first player to correctly claim NUMBA! collects all the game cards and wins the game.
• If a player incorrectly claims NUMBA! they lose all their game cards and lose the game.
