Do you speak caveman? No? Well, here's your chance to learn!

There are four pictures in the cards, with four possible background colour. Distribute the cards evenly between players, and if everybody is ready the game begins!

There is no taking turns, you have to find a match as quick as possible! It's a rapid race to get rid of your cards before your megalithic mates!

For example: if a player laid a card and called out "mamu" (that means mammoth), and in his card played the mamu was with blue background, all players would search through their cards looking for a mamu with blue surround. Once a player finds this combination, he can place the card on top of the pile and can call out the next word! Shout out one of the caveman words so that everyone knows what to look for next...

The first player to get rid of all his cards wins the game!
