A memory game about German idioms, illustrated by Philip Waechter. You match his drawings of sayings like 'to kick the bucket' to the matching text cards — and the booklet explains where each phrase actually comes from.
Who it's for
German-speaking households who like language and picture books, and anyone who enjoys memory games with something to talk about.
Not for you if…
You don't speak German — the whole thing rests on the idioms, and a translation kills the joke. The rules are barely more than standard memory.
Vibe's take
Familiar memory rhythm plus a lot of snorting at the pictures. The booklet keeps the conversation going after the last pair is gone.
