Great minds think alike. Great teams make Ultimatches

Cooperate to match cards and make your way up the pyramid as a team in this exciting, colorful, addictive game.

Make clever matches by number or color. Will you use 1 card or 2? Addition or subtraction? Mix colors (yellow + blue = green)?  Will you risk a card now or save it for later? Can you guess what card the other player needs? Make a perfect match of both number and color to feel the thrill and gain the rewards of an Ultimatch!

Setup:

A pyramid of cards is built in the middle of the table with only the bottom row faceup. Each player is dealt a hand of cards and chooses one to place faceup in the shared alta-hand.

On your turn:

  1. Trade a card with 1 other player. Who do you think can help you the most? Who is offering the best card?
  2. Make a match with 1 or 2 cards to a card showing in the pyramid. Which cards should you use? Should you save a card for a later play? Should you use a card from the alta-hand?
  3. Remove matched cards from your hand and the pyramid.
  4. Reveal any pyramid cards that are now uncovered.
  5. Get Ultimatch rewards if you matched both color and number. That means you can draw 2 new cards. Choose which one to keep in your hand and which one to add to the alta-hand.

The game ends in a win if the last card in the pyramid is matched. If all the players pass one after another, the game ends in a loss.

In the mood for a solo game? Deal yourself 13 cards and let the Ultimatching begin!

  • Rulebook
