About the game

FocusX is a small game of information matching, where each card have three attributes: animal category (land, aerial, marine or fantastic), color (red, green, blue and yellow) and quantity of animals (1 to 4). Cards will be played depending on the mode of game selected, but the basic of any game is to find or create a "Focus" which happens when three (or 4) cards have the same attribute (three cards with 3 animals each, for example). It can be played as a fast game of reflexes, or a small game of pattern recognition, and it can be played with kids or adults!
