You steer a research ship across the sea looking for different animals, remembering where you saw what. Then the kraken grabs a ship, the board tilts, and everything on it slides. Collect the widest variety of creatures and win.
Who it's for
Families with kids from around five who like memory games but want something happening on the table beyond flipping tiles.
Not for you if…
Adults want a real challenge, because underneath the gimmick this is a straightforward memory game. It is also long out of print and mostly available secondhand.
Vibe's take
Cheerful with a jolt of chaos, and the tilting moment gets a reaction every time. Short enough to play twice back to back.
