PO TAY TOE

This is a memory game for two to four players. You are simple hobbit farmers, growing potatoes in the commons of the Shire. But you are clumsy hobbitses who lack communication skills, so there is no rhyme nor reason to your planting. How many potatoes can you harvest? During the game, players take turns adding to a field of face-down cards. Each card may have one syllable on its face - PO, TAY, or TOE. (There is also a fourth card named "WHAT'S TATERS".) On their turn, a player has the option to uncover three linearly-adjacent cards in the hopes that they spell out PO-TAY-TOE. If successful, the player collects the cards as "one potato". The goal is to be the player that finds the most potatoes.
