An Almost Edible Card Game!
Harvest some fun with delicious characters made out of a rainbow of healthy produce. Using a slice of luck and a good chunk of strategy, players match halves to make a whole healthy face. Young players pull from the deck and trade with opponents to make as many faces as they can. Mature players pull, trade, and take cards for their matches, in an attempt to match the faces worth the most points. Stay alert, or you’ll miss a match that’s right in front of you!
Supervised children under age 5 can play Level 1, or just match the faces, either face up or face down, for fun. When children start adding, they can match and add up their points. This game is designed to reinforce positive experiences with fruits and vegetables and comes with age-appropriate levels of play designed for ages 5 to adult. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s...worth a taste!

Game Benefits
This game combines matching and puzzle-making skills to help children develop spatial perception and logical reasoning. Players examine shapes, sizes, colors, characteristics, and positions to make a match. Mature players can strategize to obtain the faces with the most value. As the skill and knowledge of the game increases so does the speed of the game.
Games can help children increase thinking and problem-solving abilities. They also teach important social skills, such as group participation, following rules, taking turns, communication, maintaining a positive attitude while playing, and winning or losing with grace.

▪ Memory Enhancement: the retention of, and ability to recall, information, personal experiences, and procedures.
