Matchimals is an animal matching card game for 1–4 players, made for kids (ages 2–10 love it) and the grown-ups who play with them. Connect cards so the animals on their edges match, rack up points, and see who builds the best board. HOW TO PLAY • Take turns placing the top card from the deck next to the cards already on the table. • Every edge that matches its neighbor's animal scores points — some animals are worth more than others. • Find a spot that matches on two or three sides for a big turn. • When the deck runs out, the highest score wins. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Easy mode — there's always a match to make, so little ones are never stuck. • Classic — match if you can, pass if you can't. The original rules, with a bit more bite. MADE FOR SHARING ONE SCREEN • Pass-and-play for up to 4 players on one iPhone or iPad — no accounts, no internet needed. • Play solo for a quiet round, too. • Choose your animal: 28 to pick from, each with its own color — and a matching app icon. • Pinch and drag around a board that grows with every card. GOOD TO KNOW • No ads. No in-app purchases. Nothing to unlock. • Based on Busy Bee, a card game from 1959. • Open source — the whole game is on GitHub. Matchimals aims to provide entertainment and improve pattern recognition skills through fun visuals of animals, colors, and numbers.
