Smart Memo

PAIRS FROM DIFFERENT DISPLAYS

A somewhat different game of memory in three degrees of difficulty, packed in separate boxes. Each game comprises 36 cards that are shared evenly among the players – each player lays out his cards face down in rows on the table. In your turn you uncover 2 cards, either from your own display or 1 from your own display and 1 from another players display. If you spot that the cards form a pair you call “memory” and receive the cards. If you take a card from a fellow player you give him one of your own still face-down cards. If you call memory in error you must pause for one round. You win if all you cards are turned up first.

The game is available in three different editions that differ in the difficulty of their images.

The edition in the purple box is aimed at players of ages 5+, it features 18 different and easily distinguishable animal images, in a very individual style.

The edition in the orange box is targeting players of ages 7+, the 18 images are solely of sheep, some alone, some with lambs, but in different colors.

The most difficult edition is the one in the blue box, it challenges players from ages 9+; the sheep featured in this edition are only depicted in cream and brown.

Smart Memo is a nice, witty idea, well implemented, basically a simple memory game and yet with a certain special something. Especially the cream and brown sheep in the difficult version can lead you astray very easily and even the cockerel heads from the easy version have their challenges. An interesting detail is the change in picking up the cards from personal displays.
