HOW TO PLAY

Choose a musical rhythm and arrange the cards to form a sequence, each card corresponding to «a beat», while groups of 2,3 or 4 cards form «a tempo». Each coloured shape corresponds to a movement of the body. Each round takes place by performing in turn the “musical score” created with the cards from start to finish. The players try to perform the sequence, matching each beat with the corresponding gesture. Increase your speed and those who make mistakes are eliminated!
