What a mess! The lines are so tangled up it's hard to tell which telephones
are connected. If you can figure it out and pick up the right phone…you win!
Each player is given 6 telephone cards with the same colour border. On each
card is a different colour telephone. You may keep them in your hand or place
them face up in front of you.
Setting Up
Carefully punch out all the game parts. One player is in charge of the telephone
chips. Place the six telephone tiles face up in the spaces reserved for them on
the board, and place the seven 6-sided connection tiles face up in the open area
of the game board so that there are no empty spaces.

How to Play
The youngest player starts the game by rolling the
colour die. The colour that comes up will match one of
the telephones on the board. Everyone now tries to
follow the yellow line from that telephone to the
telephone it's connected to. Use your eyes only. You
may not trace the line with your fingers.
When all players have played their cards, turn the pile
face up. The card that was played first is now on top,
face up. Is it the right colour?

The player to the left of the one who began the first round now rolls the
die to begin the next round. Play continues as before.
