Fruit Passion is a fun and quick memory card game for kids and adults alike. The goal of the game is to be the player who collects the most points by using their excellent memory skills!

Players try to collect sequential numbers of each different type of fruit, but they can collect only one sequence of each type, so they can compile at most seven different sequences. You can collect these sequences in any order you like, but you cannot look at any of your cards once you have collected them. Your aim is to collect all five cards in sequence of coconuts, papayas, figs, avocados, pomegranates and pineapples (or all seven cards in the case of passion fruit), but don't duplicate the numbers you collect or you won't score anything!

Fruit Passion is #15 in the E-G-G series of small box games.

Try to remember all the fruit you've grabbed in GYÜMI Géniusz (FRUTTA! Genius or GYUMI Genius) to maximize your score!

To set up the game, shuffle the fruit cards, then create three face-down decks of approximately equal size, then turn one card face up to start a discard pile. The deck contains fruit cards of seven types, with six types of fruit (coconut, papaya, fig, avocado, pineapple, and pomegranate) being numbered from 1-5 while passion fruit is numbered 1-7. The ratio of identical cards differs by fruit type.

On a turn, you take one of two actions: Draw the top card from one of the decks, or draw the top card from the discard pile. If you draw from a deck and don't want the card, place it on the discard pile. Otherwise, start a pile with that type of fruit or place that card on top of any other cards of that type that you already have. (Thus, you can have at most seven piles.) Splay the cards in each pile upward so that you (and everyone else) can see how many cards of each type you've collected, but with the number of only the topmost card of each pile being visible. If the discard pile is emptied because people keep taking the cards, flip over one card to start a new discard pile.

When all three decks have run out, the game ends once the player holding the final card discards it or adds it to their collection. Players then score points for each type of fruit they've collected, but fruits score only from 1 up in consecutive order. If you have 1-2-3-4-5 of pineapple, for example, you score 11 points, whereas if you have 1-2-4-5 of fig, you score only 3 points since only the 1-2 count. If you fail to get a 1 in a fruit or you duplicate a number in a fruit sequence, then you score 0 points for that fruit!

Some cards have special colored numbers on them, and with these you can create a cross-fruit sequence as the coconut has the 1, the papaya the 2, and so on. As long as these "genius" numbers are in valid fruit sequences, then you'll score points for this genius sequence, too. Whoever scores the most points wins.

Note: GYÜMI Géniusz supports 5 players while Fruit Passion supports 4, however both have the same number of cards.
