If you remember your elementary school science lessons, you know that a taiga is a biome characterized by coniferous forests. If you forgot that little tidbit, playing a game of Taiga can help restore your memory (and love of play!) to early childhood levels. The object of this memory game is to help two zoologists find families of red foxes, caribou and other animals that make the taiga their home. Just flip the wooden discs to reveal all four animals in a family and win the tokens. A smart family game for kids five and up, Taiga boasts beautifully illustrated cards and high-quality wooden pieces.

Brain Health Expert Says:

"Playing Taiga activates the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain. Visual processing centers are also engaged as you view the different shapes on the cards."

How to Play:

Each player starts with 6 tokens. Place wooden discs in a circle. Draw a card and place it face up in the center of the circle. The goal is to find all 4 discs of the animal shown on the card. On your turn, choose a disc and flip it over; if the animal matches the animal on the card, you collect a token and play again. If it does not match, you place a token in the circle and your turn is over. The player who finds the fourth animal wins all tokens in the circle plus the card.

How to Win:

The game ends when all cards have been played; player with the most points wins.
