UMA探検隊 (UMA TANKENTAI) (UMA Expedition) is a memo-style card game from Japan themed on collecting strange creatures known as UMA, that must all be collected. However, UMA have unusual abilities that affect the game. The deck of 36 cards is shuffled and laid face-down across the table. Players take turns flipping two cards over, looking for a matching pair which they then collect. All the UMA have certain ecological information on them, and some have special effects that affect the opponents, or make the UMA harder to collect. The game is aimed at younger children and includes Furigana to help them read the text. user summary
