The clothing items should be different for each season. (Ex: a top for the
Fall suitcase, a shoe card for the Winter suitcase, etc.) Players should
carefully watch you put the card in each tin. Ask them to recall and tell
what is in each tin.
3. Shuffle clothing cards from all seasons into one pile and place in front of
players.
On a Player’s Turn: One player draws a card from the pile. The player
should decide which season’s suitcase it corresponds with. Then, the player
must recall and tell which clothing items are already in the closed suitcase.
Then, If the clothing item is needed to complete the outfit, the player places
the card in the suitcase. If the clothing item is already in the suitcase, place
the card in the discard pile.
Ending the Game: Game is finished when all 4 clothing items are in each
corresponding season’s suitcase.
