This is more than just a memory game! The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart Memory Game is a card-matching game featuring two decks and over 40 apparitions of Mary from around the world. But it offers even more: cards have varying point values based on their content. Apparition cards officially approved by the Vatican score higher, as do cards depicting Mary holding infant Jesus. Special cards featuring real miraculous images are worth the most points.
Race against other players to collect Immaculate Hearts, earning special Immaculate Heart tokens along the way. Use wild cards to take tokens from opponents. Play with one or both decks to adjust the difficulty. For an added challenge and an opportunity to learn about the apparitions, try the trivia mode with over 40 beautifully designed question cards. With so many ways to play, this game offers endless replayability and appeals to a wide range of ages.
What's in the Box?
The Tin Boxes
The game features two silver, square tin boxes, each designed to hold a complete deck of cards. These durable tins serve a dual purpose: they protect the cards from damage and provide a beautiful, compact solution for storage. Having two separate tins also allows players to easily choose to play with one or both decks to adjust the game's difficulty.
The Matching Cards
The game's primary cards consist of two decks, each containing 20 matching pairs. These cards are the core of the game's matching gameplay. Each pair of cards has a different point value, adding a layer of strategy as you match your way to the highest score. For younger children, a subset of one deck can be selected to make the game even easier to enjoy.
The Trivia Cards
The game includes a deck of 40 beautifully designed trivia cards, one for each apparition of Mary featured in the game. Each card has an image of Mary on the back and six questions with answers on the front. When playing the trivia mode, a matched pair must be earned by rolling the die and correctly answering the corresponding question. Getting the answer wrong means you lose your turn and must flip the cards back over.
The Liquid Core Die
To determine which trivia question you must answer, the game uses a beautiful, liquid core die. The die has a stunning blue hue, a color traditionally associated with Mary, making it a fitting and aesthetically pleasing component for the game. The number on the die corresponds to one of the six questions on a trivia card.
Immaculate Heart Tokens
In addition to the points from matched cards, players can earn additional points by collecting Immaculate Heart tokens. These tokens are earned during the game and can be counted toward your final score. This element adds a layer of competition, as tokens can also be stolen from other players. The game can be played with 2 to 4 players.
