Card game to get to know a Spanish village, Agres.
Short description/ Goal of the game:
For each category, the game is played in a different way:
·Memory – 30 pairs of cards with the same photo. Put the cards facing down on the table and take turns turning over 2 cards in order to find the cards with the same 2 pictures.
·Math – this game is played with the category for food. On the upper part of each card there is a part of a recipe for the dish that is in the picture. The goal is to calculate how much of that ingredient is needed for a different number of portions (ex. 1 portion, 2, 4, 6 etc.)
·Language – there are 30 pairs of cards with the same image but also with the same word on the left side of the card. The thing is that the word is written in English on one card and in Valenciano on the other card. With these cards the players can play hangman, charades, try to guess the word in the other language etc. For an easier level, the same games can be played in the player’s mother language.
·Timeline – this game is played with the category of history. The goal is to put the cards that contain historical sites and events in the correct timeline, starting from earliest to most recent.
·Geocatching / Orientation – This game is played with the category of famous places in the hometown (in this case Agres). All of the 5 different pictures have their own pair with the same picture, but different information on the upper part of the cards. In this case, the longitude of the location on the photo is written on one card and on the other card there is the latitude of the same location. The players can either put the cards in order from the place that has the lowest position to the place that has the highest. The other option is to try to place the cards on a map guided by the latitude and the longitude.
