あるみ缶 (Arumi Kan) in English would be called Al-Mican. In Japanese, arumikan has two meanings. Arumi Kan means "aluminum can", and Aru Mikan means "oranges there". This game is packed in a metal can. (The game design and artwork was produced by the publisher as a group).

Arumi Kan is a memory game. No further explanation needed. Each turn, you flip two cards, each of which depicts an orange of almost the same shape. You score a point if these two are identical, but it's extremely hard to tell. You will laugh out loud when you find their subtle differences.

When you teach the game to new players, don't explain too much, and enjoy watching how they are surprised. Even children can play this game, and it's a good ice breaker.

This game was featured in a domestic TV program in Japan.
