Description
This cheerful memory card game brings together a dozen smiling animals, each drawn in a soft, friendly style on a bold block of colour. There are 24 square cards, making 12 matching pairs: a rhino, seal, monkey, elephant, koala, hippo, polar bear, panda, beaver, spotted big cat, penguin and rabbit, each set against its own bright background of orange, teal, green, red, blue or yellow. Every card shares the same mustard yellow back with a pattern of little white dashes, so no face gives itself away before it is turned. The cards are made from card and come in a cardboard box with a lift-off lid printed with the game's name and a grid of the animals. Boxed, the game is 16.5cm square and 2.5cm deep.
Memory games are among the simplest to learn: lay every card face down, take turns to flip two, and keep the pair when the animals match. Younger players learn to name each creature and its colour as they go, while older ones can race to remember where the penguin was hiding. It suits a quiet afternoon at the kitchen table, a rainy day in the playroom or a few calm rounds before bedtime, and because the box is so compact it travels happily in a bag for visits and holidays.
The cards are flat and square with gently rounded corners, easy to pick up and turn over on a table or the floor. The cream tray base holds the stacked cards neatly, so the whole game tidies away onto a shelf or into a toy box between rounds. As with anything made of card, keep it dry and wipe away marks with a soft, dry cloth. Light and slim, it wraps easily as a gift, and we like it as a gentle first game the whole family can play together.
