OUCH!

In the OUCH! card game, pick the Cactus card you fancy and decide which side to touch. Flip it over, and you might get a lovely bunch of flowers or a prickly surprise! This game is perfect for the whole family, especially kids. Players take turns choosing the Cactus card with the most beautiful flowers to add to their collection. Before taking a card, indicate which side you'll touch and flip it carefully. If the reverse is clear on that side, you score the flowers on the card. But if it's a thorny cactus, you lose the card. The first player to collect eight cards or the one with the most flowers when the deck runs out wins the game.

To play OUCH!, start by having players take turns. Each turn, a player selects a Cactus card they like. Before picking it up, say which side you'll touch. Then, flip the card using only that side. If the back has no thorns on that side, you get to keep the card and score the flowers. If there are thorns, you lose the chance. Keep playing until someone gets eight cards or the deck is empty. Then, count the flowers each player has. The one with the most wins. As for maintenance, keep the cards in a dry place and away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Also, handle the cards gently to avoid bending or tearing them.
