Really, Really Fun Card Game

Hi! I am new here on Carol's Corner, but don't worry, you'll get some good stuff out of me. Anyway, I found a card game that is actually very fun. It tests your memory and is good practice if Alzheimer's runs in your family. Well, the game is called Animals, and don't be fooled, the name sounds childish, and it may seem childish at first but you will see that it may be hard for you to win. Here are the directions:
1. Each player chooses an animal name to play under. The longer the name, the better (think hippopotamus, rhinoceros and so on). The cards are all dealt and placed face down in piles in front of each player. 2. Players go around the table turning over their top card and placing it face up in their own discard pile. When a player turns up a card that matches one on another pile, the two pile owners race to say each other's animal name three times. The first to do so gets the other's discard pile. Play continues until someone has won all the cards. VARIATIONS: Players make the animal's sound instead of calling its name.
Enjoy testing your reflexes and memory in this fun, loud and stressful (sometimes, but not a lot) game!
Abster Out.
