From the Publisher:
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!
Ultimatch includes both public and private cards and requires the kind of clever decision making about when to use cards that seasoned card players enjoy. Silently trading 1 card facedown with 1 other player keeps all players engaged throughout, introduces a push-your-luck element, and calls on players to read each other. Will you risk trading a card with another player? If so, who is likely to know what you need? Is your card better to keep for later use? The thinking goes quickly as do the turns. Every match is a mini-win, and win or lose, players keep coming back for more.

Played this for the first time tonight and it seemed easy to win. Did we just get lucky? After watching your video we followed all rules

@@SaraIrven did you only draw cards with an ultimatch or pass, and did you ever have everyone pass? We’ve had a couple of games that we sort of breezed through but most of them we had pretty good tension clearing the pyramid without running out of cards in our hands if things didn’t line up to get an ultimatch. Only other thing I can think of is did anyone ever pass willingly when they could have played a card, in order to strengthen their hand? If you have a playable card or set of cards in your hand you have to play it even if you don’t want to. Beyond that, maybe you got a favorable deal or maybe your group just made great choices and played very strategically!

What happens if you don’t have any cards in your hand? Is that considered a pass and you pick up a card?

[@PlaytheGameHQ]

Correct, the only way to get more cards is by passing or making an ultimatch
