32 cards, four of each family (color) that make it possible to play two games:

Action Game:

The object of this game is to get rid of all your cards as soon as possible. Each player gets 5 cards and the rest go in a pile face-down with 1 card turn up next to it. In a player turn he must play a card with the same colour, number or symbol as the face-up next to the draw pile. When a card with a symbol it's played, the action related to that symbol must be performed. Then the next player goes. When no card can be played, the player must take the top card from the face-down pile. If that card matches it can be played, if not the turn moves for the next player. You win if get rid of all your cards.

Family Game:

The object of the game is to get the most families of minions you can (4 of each colour makes a family). One player ask for a type of card to any other player. If he can form a family he displays it in front of it and can continue until one player can group all the families he has in his hand at any given moment. If a player asks a card and the other player does not have it that player's turn ends.
