Thirty pairs face down on the table, you flip two at a time, and whoever remembers where the second magpie is wins. It's the simplest game in the world and it has been beating grown-ups for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aussie twist is what makes this one ours. Koalas, cheeky magpies, crocs, thongs and a good run of other Australian favourites, all illustrated by Grace Leong, a designer with a background in hand-drawn animation. They're colourful and full of character, so there's plenty to talk about as the pairs turn up. Good for naming things too, if you've got a little one still learning what a magpie is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cards are thick and easy to grip, which is the practical bit. Small hands can turn them without bending the corners, and a set that gets played weekly still looks good a year later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSixty cards in a compact box makes it one of the better things to throw in the caravan or the holiday bag. It needs no setup, no reading, and it works on a camp table just as well as the lounge room floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHave a browse through our full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.adventureawaits.com.au\/collections\/memory-games\"\u003eMemory \u0026amp; Match Games collection here...\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🦘 Why You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 matching pairs of Australian icons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 thick cards built for little hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated by Grace Leong, full of colour and character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn it in seconds, no reading required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndlessly replayable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for naming animals and building vocabulary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact enough for a caravan or holiday bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely screen-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🎁 Perfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily game nights and rainy days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaravan trips, camping and holidays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrandparents playing with grandkids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly learning and vocabulary building\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirthday presents and Christmas stockings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKinders, classrooms and holiday programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who wants a game that doesn't take all night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📦 What's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 x thick custom-designed cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 x matching pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📋 Product Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Journey of Something\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Card Game\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCards:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePairs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grace Leong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCard stock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick and easy to grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australian owned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Please note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains small cards. Check all 60 are back in the box before packing away, since a memory game with a missing pair is a frustrating thing to discover mid-game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e❓ Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you play?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSpread all 60 cards face down, then take turns flipping two. If they match, you keep the pair and go again. If they don't, flip them back and try to remember where they were. Most pairs at the end wins. That's the whole game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat age is it good for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt works from about three with a reduced number of pairs, and from four or five with the full set. No reading is required, which is why memory games work so well at that age. Check the box for the maker's stated age if you're buying for a younger child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you play with fewer cards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAbsolutely, and it's the right move with little ones. Start with eight or ten pairs and build up as they get better. It also makes a quicker game when you've only got ten minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many people can play?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTwo to four works best. One child can also play it solo, turning it into a puzzle rather than a competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it good for the caravan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of the better ones. The box is compact, the game needs nothing but a flat surface, and there's no reading or setup involved. It comes out at a camp table as easily as on a lounge room floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's actually on the cards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAustralian icons, including koalas, magpies, crocodiles and thongs, with plenty more besides. They're illustrated rather than photographed, so each one has real personality and they're easy for a child to tell apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the cards survive being played with daily?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThey're thick card rather than thin playing-card stock, which is exactly what you want at this age. They turn easily in small hands without the corners bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🌟 Adventure Awaits Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay with half the pairs for younger kids and the full set for everyone else.
