Animal families

In this card game, players arrange their cards into sets so that all the mammals are together and all the molluscs are together, and so on. The dealer starts the game by asking any player for a particular card. If the player has the card it has to be given to the dealer and the dealer has a cross-curricular go. If the player does not have the card, it is the player's turn to ask any cross-curricular player for a card. When a player gets a full set of four cards the set is placed on the table. The player with the most sets on the table wins the game.
