PLAYED FOR YOU

Die Kunst, aufzuräumen

Das Memospiel

Publisher Metermorphosen is a guarantee for unusual and very attractive variations of well-known standard game mechanism - here we have once again a memo game and once again it is, as was to be expected, a very unusual and again visually very attractive game.

As in each memo game there are pairs of tiles that belong together and which you must find using the standard mechanism: The tiles are spread out face down. The active player turns up any two tiles of his choice. If he did find a pair he takes if and may turn over another two tiles. If the two tiles do not correspond, you put both of them back into the display face-down.

It is the pairs themselves and their images, which are providing the surprise and fun - one tile, for instance, shows a nicely arranged bunch of flowers, the others rows of painstakingly ordered parts of it - stems, leaves and blossoms, ordered by color and size. Or a heap or Smarties, which are sorted by colors and placed in columns that are reminding one of an abacus. Another tile shows a heap of potato chips and the partner tile shows own potato in its skin and a salt cellar. Or there is a fantastic pencil drawing on one tile and the second tile of the pair shows a ball of black string, supposedly the lines of the drawing wound into a ball.

Of course, on most of the tile pairs, the principle is simple sorting, be it by color, size or parts, but there are also some very unusual and witty combinations and ideas - and some of the orderly columns are apt to be mistaken.

All the images are taken from works of the Swiss cabaret artist Ursus Wehrli and are also available as a book, “Kunst aufzuräumen”.
