Object of the Game

Be the first player to make three sandwiches.

Contents

54 card deck and 1 plastic fly.

Before Play

Players shuffle the cards. Deal out 2 cards to each player. Place the remainder of the cards face down between the players, along with the fly.

How to Play PB&J

  • The youngest player starts play.
  • Draw a card from the pile.
  • If the player has a slice of bread in the cards they hold, they can lay it down in front of them to begin building their sandwich. (Printed as "in from of them" in the source.)
  • If they do not have a card to play, they discard one, starting a discard pile.
  • A player can only take cards to build their sandwich from the draw pile.
  • Players must build a sandwich in order, starting with a slice of bread, followed by either peanut butter or jelly cards (they do not have to be in order), and topping the sandwich off with another slice of bread.

Cards

  • Bread: Players start their sandwich with a slice of bread. Bread is the first and last card played to complete a sandwich.
  • Peanut Butter: Peanut butter is placed either on a slice of bread or on top of a jelly card.
  • Jelly: Jelly is placed either on top of bread or peanut butter cards.
  • Ant: If a player has an ant card, they may take a part of any player's sandwich and play it on their own sandwich.
  • Fly: If a player has a fly card, they place the fly on the sandwich of the player of their choice. That sandwich is now no good until the fly lands on another player's sandwich. The way that a fly lands on another sandwich is by another player picking up a fly card. The player with the fly on their sandwich cannot play any other cards on their sandwich until it flies away.
    • In this case, they start to make a new sandwich.
  • Once a player completes a sandwich, they begin another sandwich.

Winner

The first player to make three PB&J sandwiches wins. A sandwich with a fly on it cannot be counted as a completed sandwich.
