Schattenmonster

A somewhat different memo game

Metermorphosen is a guarantee for unusual and very fascinating memo games. After Mixed Double - Gemischtes Doppel in now already three different editions there are now Schattenmonster - Shadow Monsters which we are asked to remember. On the 72 round memo tiles we encounter 36 fantastic fable beings, two of them always make up a pair but a pair does not feature identical images but a monster and its dark shadow.

Those 36 image pairs are now used to play a standard memo in which you combine the correct monster to a dark shadow. In order to make it not too easy monster and shadow are of course not depicted on a background of the same color, but the monster shadows are always depicted on a gray background.

In addition to the normal memo rules additional rules for a variant are provided for monsters and shadows:

Schreck-Monster - when you uncover such a „Horror Monster“ and do not immediately find the counterpart for it, there are different consequences for each of the three monsters: For Monster Lummy all pairs you already found are handed to your right neighbor, for Schock all pairs of all players are handed to your lift neighbor and for Alarm the face-down monsters are frightened and are reshuffled. As usual you win with most pairs.

As all other memos by Metermorphosen this one is classy and challenging, but all the same comes with a wink; it is fun, works well and Monster Schock can even be used for some tactic - if you know where to find one - to take his many pairs from your right neighbor. Monstrous fun in the true sense of the word and you want you can play interpreting ink dots with the shadow tiles!
