Eye Catch

Catch groups of animals

Eight animals in eight colors - Dragonfly, Fish, Gecko, Octopus, Snail, Snake, Squirrel and Toucan in blue, orange, red, green, yellow, purple, pink and gray - on round cards must be caught in both versions of the game. For each version you stack the cards face-down and display two cards openly in the middle, players try to achieve a catch: A catch consists of three identical animals, three cards of the same color or three cards showing two colors and two animals.

Adlerauge: In turn, players turn up one card and add it to the ones already on the table. If you spot a catch, you call „catch“ and take the three cards. When several players call simultaneously, the cards are set aside. If you announce a catch erroneously, you put the last card you won under the stack. When the stack is empty, and no catch can be achieved, you win with most cards.

Schlaufuchs: Players memorize the two cards on display and then those cards are turned over. Then, in turn, a player reveals three cards, either from the stack or from the table or any mixture. If there is a catch, you take the cards involved and keep turning up cards, until the three revealed cards do not form a catch. All memorize the open-faced cards and then those cards are turned over. When all cards are on the table face-down, and nobody could form a catch anymore, you win with most cards.

Set formation is one of the well-known mechanisms for spotting and reaction games, always fun, always a challenge for taking a close look and reacting fast; Eye Catch implements the mechanism with nice, simple images corresponding to the targeted age group.
