Press the button on the Pikachu mix-up machine. The mechanical device features three triple-faceted rollers. Top roller is for ears, middle is for face, bottom is for body.

GAMEPLAY
1 .Each player starts a round by pressing the top button on the mix-up machine. Play passes to the left.
2. The youngest player starts the first round.
3. When the machine stops, study the Pikachu that popped up. Then everyone uses their Thundershock bolts to "catch" the Pikachu on the card that matches the one on the machine. Whack it so the suction cup picks up the card.
• If more than one player whacks the correct Pikachu card, the player whose Thundershock bolt is on the bottom wins. This ends the round.
But if you catch the wrong Pikachu - - - that doesn't exactly match the Pikachu on the machine put the wrong card back where it was. Everyone keeps playing.
Keep your captured Pikachu cards in a line face up in front of you so everyone can see them.
IMPORTANT
• If the machine spins and stops on a Pikachu that has already been captured, all players try to re-capture it from the player who caught it the first time!
That player should whack the card to protect it
otherwise, whoever else whacks the card first takes it!
WINNER
The first player to catch 5 Pikachu cards wins!
