Camouflage is a pattern matching speed game with multiple modes of gameplay! This includes a solo puzzle mode! (The entire game is also color blind friendly)
Nature is the world's greatest trickster!
Be prepared for your eyes and mind to be tested, as you push them both to their limits! Focus your effort to spot the matches and the best point combinations, but don't take too long because, just as in nature a split second can mean the difference between life and death! Here, it is the difference between victory and utter defeat!
Players will each select a set of six cards that they will then play as quickly and as strategically as possible. This game does not have turns and therefore the players must balance taking the time to find big point combos while at the same time making certain that they have a chance to play all of their cards!
This the perfect game for all ages in that it has incredibly simple concepts but because of the time factor the game is always a challenge. Even young kids can play against each other.
Solo Play Puzzle Mode-
If competing on a time factor isn’t for you then you will probably love our solo play puzzle mode! each puzzle will give you a list of specific cards that you can use. You will also be given an outline that you must then create by matching the patterns on the cards correctly!
