How to play
In Melted players make one big messy ice cream cone made up of three parts: the top, the middle and bottom of the cone.
Players add to the cone with a matching Flavor Card, or an Action Card that can change the active flavor, discard the whole cone, or swap everyone’s hands.
Set up
Shuffle every card into a deck and deal seven cards to each player. Keep your hand hidden from other players!
Place the remaining deck in the center of the table as the draw pile.
The player whose birthday is closest goes first, starting the ice cream cone with a Flavor Card from their hand.
Gameplay
On each player’s turn:
-
Play a Flavor Card that matches the active flavor into its corresponding position or on the cone. OR
-
Play an Action Card and follow its instructions.
If you don’t have any playable cards in your hand, draw one card from the draw pile. If you still can’t play a card, your turn ends and play moves clockwise to the next player.
How to win
The first player to get rid of all of their cards wins!
If the entire deck is played before anyone eliminates their hand, the player with a few cards is the winner!
