To form matched pairs of states and their capitals. When a player gets rid of all of his or her cards, that player wins the game. The player may then place any matched pair face up on the table. The player must then discard one card, face up, on top of the discard pile. If the player drew the top card of the discard pile, he or she may not discard it in the same turn.
Play continues with the new stock pile.
If a player lays down cards that are not in fact a matched pair, the player must return the cards to his or her hand if a player points out the mismatch at any time before the end of the game. Scoring The winning player receives 5 points for each card remaining in the other players' hands, whether they form matched pairs or not. Each player, including the winner, receives 10 points for each correctly matched pair and loses 10 points for each incorrectly matched pair that he or she laid down during the game. A list of states and their capitals should be provided to assist players during scoring. Player Two receives 80 points for his correctly matched pairs, but loses 10 points for one incorrectly matched pair.
