Sapiens is a simple shape+colour recognition game in which players try to find an image shown on two cards. Each card features four symbols (mammoth, club, fire and woman), each with a background in one of four colours (red, blue, green, yellow). One player reveals one card and chooses symbol (and its colour in the card), saying it in the in-game "prehistoric language" (mammoth = mamu, club = gra, fire = ouw, woman = bula). All players must then play a card that matches the said symbol and colour. Whoever does that, says another different symbol, and so on. Whoever runs out of cards first wins!
