THE GOAL
To score the biggest number of cards.

PREPARING FOR THE GAME
Shuffle the cards and put the stack in the center of the table, cards facing down.

Choose the first player and start the game.


GAME PROCESS
The first player takes the top card, opens it and puts it next to the deck.
* It is important to open the card so that all players see the Toddles-Bobble at the same time.

Then the player comes up with the name for the Toddles-Bobble he/she drew. It can be absolutely anything; related to the appearance (e.g., Cucumber, Mr. Pillow) or not related at all (Bobby, Lucky, John Smith). The name may consist of one or more words. Be as creative as you wish.

After that, the next player makes a move. The player puts a new card from the deck on top of the opened one.

All players look at the appeared Toddle-Bobble and:
• if it`s a new one, the player who opened the card, comes up with a name for the Toddle-Bobble;
• if it has already appeared in the game, everyone is trying to remember and shout its name. This can be done by any player, not only the one who opened the card. The first person who correctly named the Toddle-Bobble takes the entire open stack to his/her victory pile.

When the move is completed, the right to open a new card goes clockwise to the next player.

* It happens that no one can remember the name of the Toddle-Bobble (even the one who thought of it!), then just give it another name.
* If it is not possible to determine who shouted the name first, the card remains at the open stack.

ADJUSTING COMPLEXITY
Keep the top cards of victory piles facing up. If an opened Toddle-Bobble is the same as one of the characters on top of a victory pile, don`t shout its name but shout "Toddles-Bobbles".

The player who shouted first takes all cards from the open stack.

PENALTIES
Before you decide to implement penalties, think about whether it will upset younger players. If you're ready, here is what you do:

Return one card from your victory pile to the common deck if:
• you incorrectly shouted the name of a Toddle-Bobble,
• playing by more complicated rules, shouted the name of the character instead of the word "Toddles-Bobbles".

END OF THE GAME
The game ends when there are no cards left in the deck. The winner is the one who scored the biggest number of cards.
