The core game comes with rules for seven distinctly different KaleidoGames which are all fast to learn and quick to play. There are many more games which can be played with the cards as well, and it is easy to ‘KaleidoCreate’ new games yourself. Two expansion packs (KaleidoCraze and KaleidoGrey) introduce additional cards with five more games each.
