UNIQUE MIXED MATCH STANDARD
CARD DESIGN!
There are 64 cards in a deck of Mixed Match Standard (MMS) playing cards. Each card is one of four suits (stars, moons, bricks and peaks), and each suit has 16 cards. Each card of each suit has a number, an animal picture, a letter, a word and a color on it. In addition to the playing cards, there are five non-playing cards that designate how cards should be matched in any particular game. Please see example on right.




MATCHING CARDS IN MIXED MATCH STANDARD GAMES!
In the Standard deck, five of the matching characteristics have 16 representations (such as 16 different colors, 16 different words, etc.) However, there are only four different suits. Two cards can be matched when they have at least one characteristic with the same representation (such as the same color, the same number, etc.) Please see the different types of matches that can be made in the following diagram.
ABOUT THE STANDARD GAMES
A number of the Mixed Match Standard games have similarities to classic card games like Rummy, Concentration, and
Crazy 8;s and more, but with a big twist! Other Standard games are completely unique.

Play Match-o-matic, Inter-Match-um, Moons and Other Games

LOTS OF CHOICES FOR PLAYING MIXED MATCH STANDARD GAMES SOLO OR WITH YOUR FRIENDS!
For 2-4 Players!
- In this unique game, "Matchomatic", players are dealt 8 or 9 cards face-up that they must match, one by one, to two face-up piles in the middle of the table, all within a 30" turn. Super set-shifting/matching action!
- "InterMatchUm" is like the game of Crazy 8's, but much more engaging.
- "Multi-Set Match" and "Animatch" have similarities with the game of Rummy; however, the concentration, strategy and perserverance required to win makes them much more challenging.
- In "Moons", a quirky game that has similarities with the game of Hearts, players try to get as few points as possible while taking tricks.
- "MemoryMatch" has a lot in common with the traditional game of Concentration; however, players have to remember five different ways that pairs can be matched (which can be maddening in a good way)!
- "Speedi-Match" is a unique, fast-paced game that requires all players to frantically match their cards to each others' discard piles, all at the same time, until one of the players is the first to go out.
- "TriMatchalon" invites players to choose three games from the above and compete in a tournament of sorts. The steady action will push your enjoyment to the max!




For One Player!
- "SoloMatch" has a lot in common with the traditional game of Solitaire. However, in "SoloMatch", cards are arrranged in the order that they match with the preceding card (on number, color, letter, word or picture) and not in numerical order alternating between red and black suits. This variation creates a novel and compelling game bringing hours of solitary entertainment.
For Two Players!
- "DuoMatch" has a lot in common with the game of SoloMatch", but it is played with two players, allowing you to share your compulsion with a friend.
- "WarriorMatch" is a variation of the traditional game of War, requiring players to match pairs of cards based on multiple characteristics and playing out "I Declare War" when there is a match.
- "SlapMatch" is a fast-paced game like the traditional game of Slap War, but it is incredibly more exciting. Players must instantaneously decipher whether or not cards match on one of FIVE characteristics and then slap their hand down on each match before the other player does.
