Question
I am 37, and I played a game called Matchgame,(I think that is the name.) when I was about seven, maybe even ten. I am not exactly sure.

It had a plastic blue base, and four people could play. It was equivalent to a children's matching game, but the matches were countries. For instance, if you flipped over Congo, you would painstakingly hope to find the other one.

The assembly was really easy. All you had to do is put stickers on these white plastic squares, which could flip in the base.   

This is the first time, I have really purposely looked for this game. I would love to find it.

For one, it was a great way to learn all of the flags of the various countries, and two, it really was fun and challenging.

Any help in locating this game would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you.

Answer
Greetings!

I believe the game you played was called Match II.   A link to it can be found here:

If this is the correct game, then you can see if it is for sale privately on the aformentioned site under the MARKETLACE link or saving a search for it it Ebay but currently I am unable to find a copy for sale.

All the best,

If this is NOT the game PLEASE email me and I will continue to search for you.   mickeyjames@hotmail.com
