PLAYED FOR YOU

Fluchmory

You are allowed to curse and cuss!

A memo game for listeners and already in the title a nice allusion to the game mechanism, we are playing a memo game where we are looking for pairs of cards as usual, but not according to pictures, but according to phrases heard!

24 memo tiles are spread out face down. These tiles are complemented by 24 cards showing the same image plus curse and a short note explaining the origin of the expression. The cards are stacked face down. You draw the top card from the stack so that only you can see it and read out the expression / curse. Then you put back the card on top of the stack and and turn up a memo tile, again visible only for you. If it is the one with the same curse or expression, you take the card from the stack and the tile from the grid and have another turn, which you start by turning up the top card from the stack. If you turned up a tile that does not fit the card, you can get excited and vent your anger by reading out the curse from the wrong memo tile, before you put it back.  Now the next player turns up another memo tile from the grid and so on, until the tile corresponding to the top card in the stack is found. When all pairs have been matched, you win with most pairs.

If you want to play a more difficult game, you give out only the card when a pair has been found and replace the tile.

Fluchmory offers a fun and well-working variant of the memo mechanism; it is not easy to memorize all those acoustic information while only seeing the images that you turn up yourself. Witty and interesting, too, due to the information provided on the origin of the expressions, a challenge not only for children!
