Mimic Match // Mimic Match (cont'd) 004/005

Oracle text

2-4 players | 2+ packs | 10 minutes OBJECTIVE: Match and collect the most treasure chests before someone uncovers the mimics hiding amongst the loot! GET READY: Open one booster per player and remove any lands and cards without _Magic_ card backs, and then shuffle them together. Then put *two lands* back into the deck (to represent the mimics) and shuffle. Deal 16 cards face down in a *4x4 grid*. Randomly determine who goes first. LET'S PLAY: On your turn, secretly look at *two cards* from the grid. If they share a *color* or *mana value*, you may reveal them, announce what matches and take those cards, then take another turn. Otherwise, leave them in place, and the next player takes their turn. NOTE: Colorless cards can be matched with other colorless cards, but mimics can only be matched with each other. After a match has been made, replace the empty spaces with two new cards from the deck, face down. The game ends when a player reveals the two mimics, uncovering them! TO WIN: At the end of the game, each player scores 1 point for every card they collected. The player who uncovered the mimics by matching the two lands scores an additional 2 points. If there is a tie, the player who uncovered the mimics decides who wins!
