Animal Olympics (1989)

About this game

Card game for 2-4 players . There are 39 cards with animals on them numbered from 1 to 39. Each player gets 8 cards and places them facedown in front of him or her . Now one card is drawn from the facedown card pile and the first player replaces that way one of his facedown cards with that card. The goal is to get an ascending line of cards faceup but no card could be moved if once it is faceup. The replaced facedown card is now handed over faceup to the next player and so on.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• 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 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
