ABOUT HOYLE®
A NAME YOU CAN TRUST FOR FAMILY FUN
As most of us know, if something is “according to HOYLE®,” then it must be accurate and trustworthy. This all began over two hundred years ago when lawyer Edmond Hoyle’s writings became the last word on the rules of card and board games. That legacy of authority and integrity continues to this day. That’s the reason HOYLE®, produced and distributed by The United States Playing Card Company, is one of the world’s premier names in playing cards. We set the standards in quality and design.
Kids Card Games from HOYLE® are designed to nurture some of the most important skills and values parents want for their children: intelligence, fair play and fun. In fact, our team believes: “It’s fun first but there’s always room for a lesson.”

Catch N’ Fish
“I’M A STAR OF THE FABULOUS NEW GAME THAT MAKES LEARNING ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION A DAY AT THE BEACH FOR KIDS AGES 4 TO 6”
Yes, darling. I’m a star. (Sorry, my contract says no autographs.) But after playing Catch N’ Fish, it’s kids ages 4 to 6 who become the stars… star pupils, that is. You see, the folks at HOYLE® have created a positively fabulous new game for 2 to 4 players that so easy to learn and fun to play, it makes learning to add and subtract simply irresistible.
FIRST YOU SPIN. THEN YOU ADD UP PAIRS OF CARDS TO MAKE A CATCH.
After the dealer gives each player seven cards, the first player spins the wheel and starts a wave of fun! Any pair of cards that added together matches the number from the spin makes a Catch. If you’re paying attention, you can sometimes make two or three Catches in a single spin! The first player to make five Catches is the winner. And the best part is that win or lose, kids learn oodles of math skills.
WILD CARDS ADD FUN & IMAGINATION!
Wild cards stimulate young imaginations while adding excitement. Kids must use their math skills to determine the missing number to make a Catch. Isn’t that marvelous?
TWO GAME LEVELS MEAN DOUBLE THE LEARNING AND DOUBLE THE FUN!
Playing the game open handed is a great way to let kids get their feet wet with Level One. In Level Two of Catch N’ Fish, kids learn subtraction. Players must now choose one or more pairs of cards that equal the spin when subtracted. The new challenge can even bring older siblings into the fun.

Piggy Bank
“KIDS AGES 4 TO 6 WILL SQUEAL WITH DELIGHT WHILE MY GAME TEACHES THEM TO COUNT BY FIVES AND TENS!”
I don’t mean to hog all the credit, but my game is a Gold Seal winner at teaching kids ages 4-6 how to add and subtract by fives and tens. Okay, maybe the folks at HOYLE® helped a little too. You see, Piggy Bank is so easy to learn and so much fun, kids have no idea they’re gaining valuable math skills.
MAKE ANOTHER PLAYER BREAK THE BANK AND YOU WIN THE HAND!
The goal of my game is to force another player to ‘break the bank’ by putting too many coins inside the piggy.
Played by 2 to 4 players, each game starts by drawing a Piggy Bank card that sets the limit of coins the bank will hold for that hand. In the example below, the Piggy Bank limit is 25 coins. After being dealt five coin cards, the players take turns adding cards to a growing Discard pile until one player is forced to go over the piggy bank’s limit. In the sequence below it looks like the next player will be forced to break the bank’s limit of 25 coins.
But there are some surprises in store… the Pig Out and Oink-Oink cards.
PIG OUT AND OINK-OINK CARDS ADD EXCITEMENT–AND MORE LEARNING!
“The Pig Out card advances the running total up to the number on the Piggy Bank card. But the Oink-Oink card reduces the number of coin cards played to zero—starting the sequence all over again. The repetition reinforces the counting by fives and tens without being tedious.
HANG ON TO YOUR GOLD COINS TO WIN!”
At the beginning of the game, 18 gold coins are divided among the players. Each time a player breaks the bank, they lose a gold coin. When one player has lost all their gold coins, the player with the most coins left is the winner.
LEVEL TWO MAKES SUBTRACTION FUN!
Most parents introduce kids to Level One playing open handed. Before long, they catch on and the fun becomes full boar, as it were. In Level Two, players try not go below zero as they play their coin cards—and practice subtraction in the process. Level Two keeps kids interested in learning once they’ve mastered addition. Even older siblings can join in the fun.
