WHAT YOU NEED
10 or more matching cards from both the green and white decks
THE COMPILER
chooses 10 or more green cards & sorts them face-down lowest to highest – keep the values secret
THE SOLVERS
look for the same white cards (the Compiler tells them which ones) & they put them face-up lowest to highest
THE COMPILER
checks the cards and turns over any green cards that have a matching white card in the right place
THE SOLVERS
take more ‘Goes’ by moving the white cards that are not in the right places until they are all matching
HOW MANY GOES
does it take the Solvers to match all the cards Low to High?
TAKE TURNS AS COMPILER
to see which team of Solvers takes the fewest goes to get the cards in the right order
