Alles Kanone!

Johnny Jokey is looking for his parrot!

Johnny Jokey has hoarded so many treasures in his lair that he has completely lost track of all his treasures. Where did he leave the saber and what has happened to the parrot? You assist Jonny Tölpel in sorting out his treasure hoard. Seven theme cards of different colors are laid out in a row. These cards each show one single show pirate item, for instance pirate equipment like head scarf, wooden leg or eye patch. Other cards show his environment - a cave, an island, a palm tree or ship -, his treasures, sea animals or parts of his ship. Then you add an image card beneath each of the theme cards, each image card must correspond in his background color to the theme card. After a short time for memorizing the images on these pirate cards you turn over all image cards beneath the theme cards; the rest of these pirate cards is shuffled and stacked. Then you turn over the top card from the stack look at the background color and try to remember the image under the theme card with the same color. Each player can name one item, then the card is turned up and checked; if you were first to name the item depicted on the card you take the card and the card that was turned up from the stack is now placed underneath the theme card, again after a few moments to memorize. When all pirate cards are given out, you win with most pirate cards in your stack.

Alles Kanone! is a simple memo game featuring standard mechanisms; but these mechanisms have been cleverly varied by combining color and image. The theme cards offer a little help because all images on the pirate cards are depicted on the theme card of the same color.
