About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a memory and deduction challenge in the "Garden of Glittering Memories"! In Yozu, you'll try to uncover the Oracle's secrets to complete your collection of animal and season cards. Each round, one player secretly hides two cards, and the others need to guess which ones they are. Each card has a symbol and a color, and guessing works in stages: you suggest a color and symbol combination. If one of the elements is correct, the card owner reveals which one it is, and the next player tries a new guess. If your proposal matches one of the cards, it's yours! The goal is to gather sets of cards with the same color or the same symbol. It's a fast-paced game with simple rules, but it demands attention and a good dose of memory to avoid getting lost in the garden. Perfect for those who enjoy a light game to gather friends, with that touch of mystery and friendly competition. Take a look at the cards, try to remember what has been revealed, and use your logic to grab the right cards before your friends do. Yozu is a great choice for anyone looking for uncomplicated fun with a mental challenge.
