This is a game with educational aspirations. It describes itself as a variation on Pelmanism - you know, turn over the cards from a face down pack trying to get a pair. It develops your short term memory, so they say.

With a nominal age range of five to 12, I fancy that many older and even some younger will get fun out of it. My three year old and I did.

In fact, it's two programs, side A for beginners, side B for advanced. Basically you see things put in boxes, then have to remember what went where.

Side A has six boxes with objects like a clock, a pig, a fish to remember. Side B has nine boxes and you choose between nine flowers and nine faces as the objects. It also offers five grades of difficulty, from hard to super hard (like it!)

The graphics are excellent, the instruction book clear.
