Disney Stitch Level 8 and Matching Game Review

Disney fans will love playing brand-new games featuring a favorite character, Stitch. Disney Stitch Level 8 and Matching Game are two new games from Ravensburger that bring the fun of Stitch to family game night.

To play Level 8, you’ll need two to six players ages 8 and up. The game comes with 101 playing cards, three Description Cards, six Level Cards, and six Level Indicators. The object is to be the first player to reach level eight. To do this, each player starts with 10 cards. On your turn, you’ll pick a card from the Draw pile or the top card from any player’s discard pile. Then, you place all cards necessary to complete your current level, if you can. Each level requires a different combination of cards to be played before the player can move on: Runs, or cards with increasing numbers in any color; pairs, triplets, etc,; and a certain number of cards in one color. To end your turn, place any card from your hand face up in your discard pile. If you’re able to play a combination from your current level, then you can continue to play cards in your hand onto any player’s laid out cards. The first player with no cards in their hand ends the round and earns an end-of-round bonus. There are some Joker cards that can be substituted for any color or number, and Skip cards can be used to skip any other player instead of discarding a card. The first player who lays out cards for Level 8 wins the game. There are instructions for an advanced game, if you need more of a challenge. 

The Stitch Matching Game can be played with one or more players ages 3 and up. It comes with 72 tiles featuring images of Stitch, Lilo, and other characters from the movies. Gameplay is simple: mix up the tiles, and then arrange them facedown in rows. Take turns flipping over two tiles so that everyone can see them. If the tiles match, add them to your scoring pile. If not, turn them back over. Now it’s the next player’s turn. Keep playing until all the tiles have been matched, and the player with the most pairs wins. If you want to play solo, challenge yourself to see how quickly you can find all the matches by turning over two tiles at a time.
