Memoarrr! (from Edition Spielwiese / publishers of Cottage Garden) is a memory game with a twist: You have to open a card that has either the same animal or the same backgroud on it as the last card in the chain to stay in the game. The last player left gets a victory point card and the new round starts with all the cards in the same place so in theory from round to round you should get better in building longer card chains. An expert rules variant adds special powers of the animals to the game.
We played it twice yesterday (without the special powers) and it was good fun. Easy to explain, short playing time - a nice family game or as someone in our group said a good candidate for a drinking game.
