Socks

Socks is a card game that is simple to start, yet challenging to master. It can be played with other people, or by oneself, competitively or cooperatively.

In Socks, each card contains 1-6 socks in fixed positions (six positions, in every sock is in different color).

All players compete simultaneously and try to claim "match" of cards in a single pass through the deck. A "match" consists of a set of three cards where all the socks are paired up.

Lay out twelve Socks cards, face up. Whoever spots a match first, says "Match!" and lets the other players check. If the three cards have all the socks in them paired up, then the spotter gets a point. If some of the socks are not paired up, then the spotter loses a point.

If all the players agree that there isn't a match on the table, lay out three more cards face up.

Continue playing until the deck runs out.

Whoever has the most points wins!
