📖 About This Game
Mighty Meerkats – Memory Roulette
OverviewA clever twist on a classic, with surprises, hidden abilities, and heroic meerkat families buried in the sand.
In Mighty Meerkats: Memory Roulette, the meerkat families of Mirkatopolis are trapped under the scorching desert sands. It’s your job to dig them up and reunite them, while dodging distractions, hidden tricks, and the occasional flying sandal.
At its core, this is a memory game, but with a Fried Potatoes twist. Nine cards lie face-down on the sand plane, and each round you draw a new card from the pile, placing it face-up. Then, you flip one card already on the sand plane. If they match, you rescue that meerkat family and get to dig up two more cards as a bonus. If not, both cards are flipped back and your turn ends.
Hidden among the cards are Mighty Cards, powerful specials that can change the game in an instant. Some are helpful, like Visionary Vantage, which lets you peek at and reorder the top three draw cards, while Earthquake reshuffles the entire sand plane. Just hope you don’t hit Desert Danger, it ends your turn and skips your next!
The more mistakes players make, the more the desert fills with cards, and the harder it becomes to remember what’s where. Smart placements, sharp memory skills and focused attention are the keys to saving the most families before the desert takes over.
For the bravest adventurers, there’s the Mighty Meerkats Challenge. In this solo mode, your mission is to reunite every meerkat family before the sand pile runs out. Only if you rescue all the families in time can you claim victory.
