Setup Instructions

1. Assemble the Washing Machine: Carefully assemble the cardboard washing machine according to the instructions on the game box. Ensure the plastic door is securely attached.
2. Prepare Game Pieces: Place all the Silly Sock pieces and Underpants pieces into the assembled washing machine. Mix them thoroughly.
3. Distribute Laundry Baskets: Each player selects one laundry basket. Place the baskets in front of each player.

How to Play (Operating)

The game proceeds in turns, with players drawing items from the washing machine.

1. Player's Turn: On your turn, reach into the washing machine and draw one item (either a Silly Sock or an Underpants piece) without looking.
2. If you draw a Silly Sock:
   • Check if the drawn sock matches any of the three socks you currently have in your hand.
   • If it matches, you have found a pair! Place the matching pair into your laundry basket.
   • If it does not match, add the drawn sock to your hand. You will now have four socks.
3. If you draw Underpants:
   • Oh no! You picked up the underpants. You lose your next turn.
   • Return the underpants piece to the washing machine and mix it in.
4. Ending Your Turn: After drawing and resolving the item, your turn ends. Play passes to the next player.

The first player to collect three matching pairs of Silly Socks in their laundry basket wins the game!
