Save the Treasure of Fairy Tales

Shuffle the garden, match the torn fairy tale pages and get out before the king comes back.

A cooperative memory game in an enchanted garden. An evil king shredded the last fairy tale book; the players slide garden tiles around to uncover matching page pairs and must leave the garden before the king returns. Two to four players from five, about half an hour.

Cooperative: the group wins or loses togetherSliding tiles keep relocating what you memorisedPlayable from about five years old

Who it's for

Families who want a memory game where the adults can help out loud instead of quietly winning.

Not for you if…

Cooperative games in your group tend to become one person telling everyone else what to do — this one invites exactly that. Rare and out of print, so tracking down a copy takes effort.

Vibe's take

Chatty and collaborative — everyone remembers a different fragment, and the tension builds properly as the king closes in.
