How to play
Each player gets dealt 7 cards.
Before starting the game, players attempt to make part-whole triangles from the cards they have been dealt.
Players then take turns in trying to make part-whole triangles.
Players may take a card from their opponents unused pile or from the pile in the middle.
Players need 3 cards in their unused pile at all times.
The winner is the person to make 6 part-whole triangles or the person with the largest number of triangles once all the cards have been used.
When you're ready, watch the last video.
