Collect as many cards as possible.
Perparation: Select one player to be the dealer. The dealer mixes the cards and deals 5 cards to each player, dealing alternately one card at a time. The remaining cards are left face down as the draw deck.
Game Play: Both of them look at their cards and select one to play, laying it face up at the same time. Using the rules of "ROCK CRUSHES SCISSORS, SCISSORS CUTS PAPER, PAPER COVERS ROCK," the player with the higher card wins both cards and lays them face down in front of him. Players then draw one card from the draw deck after each turn, starting with the dealer. Play continues this way until the draw deck is depleted. Players continue playing using the cards in their hand until they run out.
If both players play a card that is the same, each player places another face-up card from their hand until there is a single card winner. Players continue to draw a card from the draw deck after each card played. The tiebreaker wins all the cards played during the round. When the players run out of cards in the tiebreaker, both draw a card from their pile to continue until the tie has been broken. When a player runs out of cards in the draw deck, in their hand, and in their pile, the other player wins by default.
The game ends when all the players have no cards left in their hands and the draw deck is depleted. The player who has gathered the most cards wins the game. In case of a tie, each player draws one card from his pile to play. The player with the better card wins the game.

Unlike the hand game, if there is a tie, just keep throwing down cards until a winner emerges. Superior fun for a few pennies.

I've been trying to play and teach my daughter paper rocks scissors but she can't quiet grasp the timing of when to change your hand. Having cards will really help and make it easier for her. Same rules just less to worry about.

I was a little disappointed by this card game since it was exactly like the hand game except with cards. No need to buy it if it's no different.
