EASY & MEDIUM Stations (4 buttons each)
Note: Easy and Medium stations use the same 4-button layout. Simple color matching - no duplicates.
HARD Stations (8 buttons each)
Note: Hard stations have duplicate colors (4 colors × 2 = 8 buttons). Players must match object type to determine which button. Example: RED Ornament = Button 1, RED Stocking = Button 5.
EXPERT Stations (8 buttons with stripe patterns)
TOP ROW - THICK STRIPES
BOTTOM ROW - THIN STRIPES
Note: Expert stations use stripe patterns to distinguish duplicate colors. Players find candy canes with thick or thin stripes and match to correct button. Example: BLUE candy cane with THIN stripes = Button 7 (bottom row).
