MEmorize And Find Animals

It has happened again - animal babies have escaped and must be found again. The die determines which animal baby must be found.

The game comprises 24 animal tiles for six different animals - zebra, crocodile, lion, elephant, monkey and giraffe. Each animal is represented on four different kinds of tiles - on a disc with red border and red back, on a square with blue border and blue back, on an octagon with border and backside in yellow and on a hexagon a green with border and backside.

Those animal tiles are spread out face down and sorted into groups by their backside color. In your turn you roll the die and try to uncover the animal shown on the die. It does not matter in which color group you turn the animal up. If you do not manage to find the correct animal your turn ends and passes to the next player. If you succeed in finding the correct animal you have another turn, roll the die and try to find the resulting animal, but you must know find in in a different color group, and so on. If you do not succeed to turn up the correct animal, all animals uncovered so far are turned back again face-down, but stay in the same place. If you manage to turn up four animals in your turn, corresponding to each roll of the die and each on in a different color group, you win the game.

In a version you can play a slightly more difficult game, tiles are not sorted by backside color, but spread out randomly.

Basically a very simple memo game, but a very attractive and sophisticated version, featuring very pretty components and easy, simple rules, all in all a perfect game for young children.
