Description
Play a turn-based animal matching puzzle game. Connect cards on the table with the top card from the deck. Pass if no valid connection exists. End when all cards are connected. Improve pattern recognition through colorful animal and number visuals.
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.
