A colorfully cutthroat card game of rainbows and revenge.

Designed for both kids and adults, Mantis is easy-to-learn like a classic matching game AND has the depth of gin rummy.

There are only two rules: Steal or Score. You collect matching sets of cards by stealing from your opponents. You feel good about things, then not so good about things as opponents steal your cards back. Repeat this emotional rollercoaster until somebody wins the game.

How to play in a nutshell:

  1. Everyone gets 4 cards that are placed on the table facing up.
  2. The rest of the cards stay in the center of the table as the draw pile.
  3. On the back of the cards is a circle with three colors. One of the colors matches the shrimp mantis on the front.
  4. On your turn, consider the colors on the back of the top card on the draw pile… you can either try to match it to one of your face up cards (Score!) or match it to another player's cards (Steal!)
  5. First player to collect ten cards wins!

Mantis is quick to play and highly addictive!
