Original + Care Bears set

At the table

This is the bundle we reach for when the ages at the table run wide. Two complete games sit side by side: the original deck that started the line, and the illustrated Care Bears deck that drops the reading age to six. Both play the same three steps, so nobody learns a second rulebook halfway through the evening.

What is in the box

• The original deck300 ranking cards, score pad and rules. Ages 8 and up, 30 to 45 minutes, 2+ players
• The Care Bears deck200 fully illustrated cards, score pad and rules. Ages 6 and up, 30 to 45 minutes, 2+ players

Two complete games, one lid

The original deck brings three hundred ranking cards with its own score pad and rules. The Care Bears deck brings two hundred fully illustrated cards with the same. Neither half is an expansion of the other; each stands on its own.

Six and up, eight and up

The Care Bears half is marked six and up because every topic carries a picture, so a pre-reader can rank along with the room. The original half picks up at eight. Deal whichever side matches the youngest seat.

Almost five hundred topics

Between the two decks the bundle holds close to five hundred things to argue about. That is a long way before a table starts seeing repeats, and the two halves shuffle together whenever you want a wider spread.

Same rules on both sides

One player orders five cards in secret, the table debates one shared guess, the reveal settles it. Swapping decks mid-evening changes the topics and nothing else.
