Object

Find matches and win head-to-head battles to collect tiles. Once all the tiles are matched up, the player with the most tiles wins!

Set Up

1. Turn the tiles face-down and mix them up.
2. Set out the tiles face-down in rows.

The youngest player goes first!

On Your Turn

1. Turn over any two tiles of your choice, so all players can see them.
2. If they are a match, take them and put them in your scoring pile. Then decide whether to BATTLE (see below) or go again.
3. If they are not a match, turn them back over face-down exactly where they were. Try to remember which pictures were on these tiles for later in the game!

Now it's the next player's turn.

Battle

After making a match, you may challenge any other player to a battle instead of flipping tiles again! You will battle using the tiles you just collected, while the other player gets to choose any pair of tiles they have of the opposite faction (First Order against Resistance).

At the same time, flip your Battle Coins up into the air. If you flip the faction that matches your tiles, add 3 to the number on your tiles. If you flip the wrong faction, subtract 3. The player with the higher total takes the other player's tiles. On a tie, no tiles are taken. All tiles used in battle (including tiles won) must be flipped face-down and not used to battle with again.

Note: You may not battle a player unless they have a pair of tiles from the opposing faction.

Faction symbols: The Battle Coin faces are the First Order symbol (dark emblem) and the Resistance symbol (Rebel emblem), as shown in the sheet's key.

Example

Player A has a pair of tiles totalling 11. The Battle Coin lands on the INCORRECT side up, so 3 is subtracted: 11 - 3 = 8.

Player B has a pair of tiles totalling 8. The Battle Coin lands on the CORRECT side up, so 3 is added: 8 + 3 = 11.

Player B wins and takes both pairs of tiles!

Ending the Game

Once all the tiles have been matched up, the game is over. Count how many tiles you collected. The player with the most tiles is the winner!
