Memofant

Where are three out of four fruits?

Who has an elephant’s memory and remembers the positions of twelve images, even when they switch places? Images are numbers - 1, 2, 3 and 4, animals – dolphin, frog, beetle and lion, and fruits  plum, apple, strawberry and lemon. In each group, images are colored in blue, green, red and yellow, in the order they are named here.

The image tiles are randomly distributed on cases A to L in the center of the board and covered up after 60 seconds for memorizing them. Players begin with their elephant marker in one of the corners of the board and take – depending on the desired duration of the game – up to seven life cards. You roll the die and move your elephant accordingly on the round-track with demand cases. Then you try to uncover the images demanded on the case you reached: Either the exact image, e.g. the blue One, or three out of four images in a group, e.g. three fruits. Or you ask a player to name the image at a certain letter case or demand of him to uncover a certain image. Your you need to name the images on the letter cases as indicated, or you need to switch any two covered images or switch the images on the given letter cases. If you make a mistake, you lose one of your lives and turn the card over to the red side; if you lost all lives, you are out of the game.

Twelve images does not sound like a lot, but they demand attention; aides-memoires can help, as long as the banana-colored lemon on case B does not change its location. A very pretty and cute memo game for all the family, even with a handicap option of varying the number of life cards for memo experts – all in all, a very felicitous game.
