Melted: A Messy Ice Cream Game

Players build a single, three-part ice cream cone by playing flavor cards that match the currently active flavor or by using action cards to alter the cone or other players' hands. Action cards change the active flavor, force hand swaps, or discard the entire cone, creating shifting opportunities and setbacks. Each turn a player either plays a matching flavor into the top, middle or bottom position or resolves an action card, then draws to refill. The round ends when a player empties their hand or is left holding cards; the objective is to shed all cards while manipulating the shared, ever-changing cone.
