From the back of the box:

Shiver me timbers! It's all the fun and excitement of the POPEYE arcade game - in a card game! All hands on this deck race to match-up Olive Oyl's sweetheart cards. Play a Popeye card and show-off your matches. But keep an eye out for Brutus. When an opponent plays this card, one of your matches could be stolen. Only a Spinach card can save it! There's the Hag card, too. She'll help players swipe one of your cards if you have the one they want. So fight to the finish - be the first to make the right number of matches and you win!!
