Sardines (2008)

About this game

A card game for children (5+ years) and adults. Excellent for strengthening and building upon the skills introduced in basic memory games but with a twist. Requires players to not only memorize the individual sardines and their characteristics, but to concentrate deeply on their sequence and develop mnemonic devices to help recall the characters and order. From the publisher: "Observation and memory game. You have a couple of seconds to observe the little sardines, memorise them and find them again in the box.!"

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 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
