ドッペル言語 (Doppel-Gengo)

User summary ドッペル言語 (Doppel-Gengo) is a word memo card game, published in Japanese. Players are trying to find matching pairs of homonyms by reading texts on the backs of the cards. The title Doppel-Gengo means 'double words' but is a pun on doppelganger. In this game, there are 50 word cards, making 25 pairs of homonyms. On each card face is a picture and a word in Japanese, along with a guide to its proninciation. The deck is shuffled and the cards spread out face-down. On each card back is a short piece of text explaining the meaning of the word hidden on the card's face. Players read the texts, try to discern the hidden words, and then identify matching homonyms to claim pairs. The game is very language dependent and cannot be played without knowing a good range of common Japanese words. However, the gameplay is open to translated editions using other homonyms to fit.
