What do you do when the world's gone pear shaped? How about play our fast and frantic game, ‘Pear Shaped' for a rocking good time! Round up your nearest & dearest, pull back the rocking pear timer and let the game begin. The rules? You can match by object, colour or number… but if there's an exact match, all bets are off and it's a race against your fellow gamers to grab the rocking pear! Objective: To get rid of all of your cards by playing matching cards into the play pile. The first player to get rid of all the cards in their hand and draw pile is the winner. Family, friends, coworkers - this is the pear-fect game for everyone! Oh, and don't forget to “do the Shakes Pear” when the timer stops or when you win! (aka rock side to side in triumph).... We're so going to get some music for the Shakes Pear! - Got any ideas? -description from publisher's website
