Speemo

Find and memorize

18 recipes cards depict between one and four ingredients; five such cards are lined up open-faced. 48 ingredient cards are spread out face-down. On a signal, all players search simultaneously, with one hand only, for ingredients and memorize the location of ingredients for one of the recipes. You turn over a card, look at it, memorize it, put the card back and memorize the location of the card, too.

Whoever has found all ingredients for a recipe, calls “done“, points at the recipe card and turns over all ingredients. When you manage this without revealing an unsuitable ingredient, you take the recipe card and the ingredients are taken out of play. If two players call ”done” at the same time and point at the same recipe, the recipe is put to the bottom of the stack and not resolved. If they indicate different recipes, they resolve them one after the other. If you make a mistake, the revealed ingredients are turned over again and you can only call “done” again after someone else had a try. When all recipe cards are revealed and one more recipe was found, you win with most stars on your recipe cards.

In the Slomo version for players of ages 4+, you only use recipe cards with one or two ingredients; only one recipe card is on display and the active player can continue to turn over cards until the recipe is completed or an unsuitable ingredient is revealed.

Speemo fits seamlessly into the concept of all Adlung games - simple rules, good educational practice and lots of fun to play for all the family; the idea of memorizing the card location demands concentration and speed, you want to avoid to lose a memorized card to another player.
