HOW TO PLAY

There are two versions of HUNT & SCORE™

• 16-square matrix
  

• 30-square matrix

Each game version is played the same. The only difference
is the number of matrix squares. Behind each numbered
square is an object. Each player takes a turn by choosing
two matrix squares. When a player chooses a square, an
object is revealed. If the two squares' objects are identical,
the player scores one point.


KEYBOARD CONTROLLER

Each player uses a Keyboard Controller to make selections.
