In Freaky, you want to grab all the cards that you can, but to grab them, you need to play the right cards! Each card in Freaky features three characteristics: number, number color, and background color. Each player starts with three cards in hand, and three cards are placed face up on the table. On a turn, a player plays 1-3 cards onto the table, and each card played must match at least one characteristic of the card on which it is being played. If a pile now has at least four cards in a row with a matching characteristic, e.g., four yellow number circles, that player claims all of the cards in that pile. A player refills their hand to three cards at the end of their turn. When the deck runs out, the game ends and whoever has collected the most cards wins!
