Affenraffen

A fast memory-matching tile game where players search with one hand for color-and-animal pairs to meet a goal pattern. Collected pairs remain hidden, so remembering both the table and personal needs drives the frantic race.

Read the full game description

Players frantically search for pairs among the face down tiles on the table. Both color (gold, green or blue) and animal (ape, zebra, lion, penguin or flamingo) must match to qualify as a pair. The object is to fulfill the conditions on one of four goal tiles, e.g. any three animal pairs with different colors. Players are allowed to use only one hand and can't peek at the pairs they've collected, so not only do they have remember where tiles are on the table, but exactly which pairs they need to finish the goal. Is a re-release of Zock! with different rules.
