Tigerilla

Animals, patterns and mirror images

Tigerilla, Flederbär, Giraffinchen & Co are searching for two mirror images of themselves, so that you must find three tiles showing the same animal, but each one in combination with a different pattern. The game features 15 tiles for five different animals, each animal is present three times. 15 pattern tiles carry five different patterns, with three tiles showing the same pattern.

At the start, you combine one each animal tile with a pattern tile and must make sure that the same animal is combined with three different patterns; the tiles are attached to each other with Velcro dots. Then you lay out all tile duplexes showing the same type of image on top, animal or pattern, shuffle them well and then players try in turn to find a triplet; the active player turns over two tile duplexes - when the revealed images are different, his turn ends and passes to the next player. But if the two images are identical, you may turn over a third tile duplex. If all three images are identical, you have found a triplet and receive a chip; the tile duplexes remain in place as they are. When four triplets have been found, the round ends. The last triplet is turned over so that all tile duplexes now show animals or all show patterns, and you now search for triplets of the other type. If you want, you can shuffle the tile duplexes before beginning the search in the new round. Whoever owns five chips first, wins instantly.

The idea of a memo with triplets instead of pairs is familiar, but the implementation here is very felicitous - cute animals and well-working tile duplexes as attractive components - a very good memo version.
