ABSTRACT:
This game for children is played using a plurality of like-shaped playing pieces or tiles divided into sets having an equal number of pieces per set. Each piece of a set has a particular design in a particular color on one exposed surface of a piece. The other exposed surfaces of each piece are unmarked. The design and color utilized have been selected to be easily recognized by a young child and distinguishable from the other designs and colors used. A fixed number of pieces are selected randomly by players of the game to form a hand leaving a set number of remaining undivided pieces. Each selected piece can be conveniently placed in a support rack carried by a four-sided frame of a playing board. Each player in rotation then selects a piece from the undivided remaining pieces. The player retains the selected piece if the design or color of the design matches that of a piece in the hand. If the design or color of the design does not match, the player discards that piece or another piece such that the number of pieces in the hand remains the same. The first player to obtain sets of matching pieces is a winner.
