Ichigorilla (2009)

About this game

Ichigorilla is a memory game with each type requires different number to be scored. The title comes from two words, ichigo ("strawberry" in Japanese) and gorilla, put together. Ichi means "one" and go means "five" in Japanese, and that implies that two of the tiles (the strawberry and the gorilla) require one and five tiles to be flipped. On your turn, you simply flip tiles until you flip the required number of tiles, or hit wrong tiles. Easy game with cute drawings.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
