Monkey Memory (2000)

About this game

Where's the coconut? Excellent speed memory game, made for kids but will beat adults. There are two sets of cards showing ten objects, a camera, a ball, a coconut etc. Select 7 objects, lay one deck out for all to see, shuffle the other deck and draw one randomly and hide it. Then deal the remaining six cards face up very quickly and cover the last with your hand. Players must now determine which card was removed. Think it's easy? No it's not! And to make it harder, simply add another picture to the mix, then another.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 9.
• 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 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
