**Description**  
**A little strategy, a little luck, and a lot of family-friendly fun! Mantis features vibrant illustrations–but it’s not just a pretty face!**  
It’s easy to learn, and each round comes down to 2 choices: Steal or Score? That choice kicks off gameplay that’s energetic, unpredictable, and addictive.

Mantis takes the simplicity of a classic matching game and the reasoning of Gin Rummy and gives it a colorfully cutthroat makeover you’ll play again and again.

## What’s in the box?

**Mantis comes with**
- **84 Cards featuring new original mantis shrimp artwork**
- **Plus one instruction manual that you will probably skim.**

### THE TANK

Each player gets 4 cards facing up. The collection of cards in front of them is called their Tank. Stack any colors that are matching.

### STEAL OR SCORE

Before you draw a card and see what color it is, decide if you want to Steal or Score.

### STEAL

Stealing only allows you to take another player’s pile that you pick. If you pull a color that matches one in the player's Tank, steal it and place it into your Tank.

### SCORE

Choose to score to gain cards in your Score Pile, but only if you draw a color that matches one in your Tank.

### TIP

The colors on the back of the cards give hints of what color Mantis Shrimp is on the other side.

### WIN

Win by scoring 10 or more cards in your score pile.
