PLAYED FOR YOU

Memo Match

Yellow Peak, red tuft!

All members of a bird family resemble each other, but if you look closely you will find differences in tuft, peak, eyes and feet – there are red tufts and blue tufts, yellow peaks and red peaks, thin green lids over black eyes or broad red lids over blue eyes and, finally, open feet or feet closed around a branch.

16 bird cards show birds with different combinations of those characteristics, 16 memo tiles show the individual characteristics, each characteristic is represented twice among the tiles. The top bird card from the stack is revealed: if it is your turn to play you turn over a memo tile; when the characteristic depicted on the tile fits the corresponding characteristic on the bird card you can turn up another tile, etc. Should the characteristic on the tile not fit the card or should you turn up the same characteristic for the second time, you must turn over all tiles again and the turn passes to the next player. If you manage to turn up four tiles fitting the respective characteristics on the card you get the card und turn over all revealed tiles again. You must put them back into position, they cannot be switched or removed. For the next player’s turn a new bird card is then revealed. Whoever collects three bird cards first, wins. In a variant you not only turn back over all revealed tiles if you uncover a wrong or double characteristic, you also turn up a new bird card for the next player.

A simple game and a simply nice game! The birds are cute and well-drawn, the characteristics are easily distinguished and only to two versions of each characteristics make it easy for small children to spot the difference
