A playful illustrated memory game for puppy lovers

A playful illustrated memory game for puppy lovers

Some games are loud.
Others invite you to slow down.

Paw Paw was created as a gentle invitation to play differently—to observe, to move, to laugh, and to reconnect through something simple: a deck of illustrated cards and a table shared with others.

At its heart, Paw Paw is a memory game.
But like everything at Latintota, it goes a little further than the classic rules.

Puppies, illustration, and the joy of movement

The inspiration behind Paw Paw came from watching puppies play:
their short attention spans, their sudden bursts of energy, their curiosity, and their endless capacity for joy.

Each card captures a small moment of that spirit through illustration.
Soft lines, expressive characters, and a playful tone that feels warm rather than overstimulating.

Alongside the matching pairs, Paw Paw includes action cards—unexpected pauses that ask players to move, react, or change the rhythm of the game.
They break predictability and turn each round into something unique.

A game that lives between focus and fun

Paw Paw naturally blends:

  • memory and observation

  • attention and spontaneity

  • calm moments and bursts of laughter

It’s a game that works just as well with children as it does with adults, because it doesn’t rely on speed or competition alone.
Instead, it leaves space for connection.

There is no “perfect” way to play Paw Paw—only shared moments around it.

Designed as an object, not just a game

At Latintota, we think of our games as small illustrated objects.

Paw Paw follows our signature format:
square, pocket-sized cards with minimalist backs and a tactile feel that invites touch.
It’s designed to be taken out, put away, rediscovered, and played again over time.

Every deck is designed and produced in Spain, with care for detail, materials, and illustration.

Who Paw Paw is for

Paw Paw often finds its way into:

  • family afternoons around the table

  • classrooms and creative spaces

  • shelves of people who love dogs and illustration

  • moments where screens are set aside

It’s for anyone who believes play doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.

A quiet kind of play

Paw Paw doesn’t rush you.
It doesn’t ask for constant attention.

It simply waits—until someone opens the box, spreads the cards, and lets the game unfold naturally.

Because sometimes, the most memorable games are the ones that leave room to breathe.
