What the game asks you to do
Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The order of play
- Turn over any face-down card.
- Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
- Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
- Continue until every pair is visible.
Choosing and moving on screen
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Work through an example
Turn over one card, remember its position, then choose a second. A matching pair stays found; a mismatch is hidden again. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
A common point of confusion
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
