HabitZup Innovations is a family startup dedicated to creating FUN products that help us develop habits which in turn develops us! It is co-founded by us, four members of a family in Bangalore – Madan, Sumathi, Oviaa and Guru – as an offering to the society for all the wisdom about leading meaningful lives we have received over the years. After the idea of the card game was played on us, with the blessings of the Divine, we got into our boots, strapped ourselves into our seats and began our long journey of entrepreneurship which we totally love. In short, we’re completely bootstrapped 🙂

2 green x 8 green = 16 green

When you makes a pair, player who has “Undo” card can put undo on top of your pair. The pair goes back to the draw pile and shuffled.

Player 1 makes the pair. Player 2 does not have the “Undo Card”. But Player 3 has the “Undo Card”. Player 3 can play the Undo card.

Play ends when the draw pile becomes empty. Typically, it takes about 20-30 minutes.

If the other player does not have any cards in hand, only your cards goes to them.
