Do red bananas feel as blue as yellow strawberries?! Anyone who plays Fruddel Muddel must overlook the muddle of colors in front of them to grab the right fruit.

To set up, deal cards are evenly as possible to all players, then place the four fabric fruits — strawberry, banana, pear, and grapes — in the center of the playing area so that everyone can grab them easily.

Everyone then reveals a card simultaneously, and each card shows the silhouette of one of these four fruits, with an outline in the color of one of these four fruits on a colored background that matches one of these four fruits — which means that each card has elements of three different fruits or two elements of one fruit and one element of a second fruit. Your challenge is to figure out which fruit appears most frequently among all the signals given, then grab it from the center. Alternatively, if you don't want to grab something, place your hand on your deck of cards.

If you grabbed the proper fruit — and more than one might exist! — then you place your revealed card on the bottom of your deck. If you didn't grab a fruit, you discard your card, and if you grabbed the wrong fruit, discard your card and one additional card from your deck. Keep playing rounds until someone discards their final card, at which point whoever has the most cards left wins.
