Twin It

Spot two identical patterns among the visible cards before the others, and win five catches.

You’ll need the game box. Marquoir sums up the rules and keeps score.

Setup

The "Every player for themselves" mode is for 2 to 6 players.
Shuffle the 135 cards well and share them out roughly equally among the players.
Each player places their draw pile in front of them, in plain sight.
The player wearing the most different colours starts.

In turn, clockwise, each player turns over the top card of their draw pile, facing the others, and places it in a free space.
At any time, a player who sees two identical patterns puts one hand on each of the two cards and wins the pair.
All visible patterns count: those on the table, those on top of the draw piles and those of catches already won.
Stealing: if a pattern appears a third time, you may put one hand on the pair already won and the other on the new card to take all three.
Dispute: if two players each have a hand on one card of the pair, count to three and turn the pair face down; nobody wins it. If two hands are on the same card, the one underneath has priority.
Mistake: a player who puts their hands on two different cards loses a catch already won, slides it under their draw pile, then restarts play.
After a catch, the player who won it turns over the next card of their draw pile.

The clans, for 4 to 6: two teams, and a catch only counts if two teammates each put a hand down.
All together: cooperative play, one minute to gather as many pairs (1 point) and triples (2 points) as possible.
The ring: five shared draw piles, four at the corners of a rectangle and one in the middle; a catch can be made from one, two or three cards.

Does a card on top of a draw pile count?

Yes. If a pair uses it, the card revealed underneath can in turn form a pair: chain reactions are allowed.

What do you lose by making a mistake with no catches?

Nothing: you only lose a catch if you have one.
