Match the Mermaids

Match the Mermaids by Emily Hawkins offers a delightful mermaid matching game where you can reunite the merfolk with their friends. This fun and easy-to-learn game is presented in a sturdy gift box containing 40 cards, each measuring 8.8 x 6.6 cm, and a 28-page booklet. The box size is 10 x 14.4 x 4.7 cm.

This enchanting game features 20 diverse mermaid species from all around the world. Your task is to match the pairs that belong to the same species.

Included is an illustrated booklet that covers game rules, fascinating mermaid facts, and tips for spotting them yourself, providing delightful screen-free entertainment for mermaid lovers aged 4 and up.

Based on the A Natural History of Mermaids book from the popular Folklore Field Guides series, the cards feature naturalist illustrations of mermaid species from different regions of the world. You'll encounter the Caribbean Queen, the Southern Wayfarer, the Reef Angel, and the Pacific Wanderer, among others.

The booklet serves not only as a guide to playing the game but also as an informative resource about the mermaid species on the cards. It details their habitats, dwellings, distinctive features, and habits while also sharing where and when to look for mermaids, and signs of their presence.

To play, arrange the cards face down on a table, then flip two over. If they show the same species, you collect the pair. If not, try to remember their locations to make a match on your next turn. Put your memory skills to the test and learn about the diverse mermaids of the world while you play. Gather more pairs than your opponent to win!

The Folklore Field Guides series is a charming collection of beautifully illustrated handbooks on topics of lore and legend. Fascinating facts are accompanied by breathtaking illustrations, all presented in an engaging narrative form.

Also available from the series: A Natural History of Fairies, A Natural History of Magical Beasts, and A Natural History of Magick.
