A non-competitive memory enhancement game serves to stimulate the memories of persons suffering from memory loss due to Alzheimer's disease stroke, head injury, or other reasons. The present game includes a series of subject areas or categories, with each of the categories being further divided into general knowledge and individualized or personalized knowledge areas. A series of memory cards is provided corresponding to the various general knowledge subject areas, with a series of transparent envelopes also being provided for the insertion of pictures and related questions or comments therein for the construction of personalized memory cards for individual players. A game board or other suitable playing device is provided with a series of playing positions corresponding to the subject areas of the game. Movement about the playing surface during the game is determined by chance, e.g., tossing a single cubical die, or by randomly drawing a subject area card corresponding to the various subject areas of the game. The game may be played by one or more players, with other participants (family members, friends, volunteers, etc.) serving to draw the memory cards and ask questions or discuss points related to the memory cards. The object of the game is to share memories among the players by discussing the pictures displayed on the memory cards, with no competitive aspects being involved. However, rewards (favorite snack or activity, etc.) may be provided to players after a predetermined number of plays or a predetermined period of play, etc., as desired.
