It’s pretty simple really. There are 32 cards, each of which contains information relating to one of the most commonly prescribed medicines in the UK. Deal the cards out between the players. Whoever is going first takes the top card on their pack, picks an information category and states the number they have on their card. Whichever player has the winning number takes the top card on each players pack. Whoever has all of the cards in the end wins. A full set of instructions are included in the pack but it really isn’t much more complicated than that.
