The first player takes a turn by turning over 2 cards. If the cards match, the player shouts "It's a match!" The matching pair is removed and placed in front of that player. The player continues to play until the two exposed cards do not match. The cards are returned to the origional position. The next player takes a turn. The game continues until all pairs are matched. If there is a tie, the player with the shoes or socks wins.
