Your objective
Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Keep the controls in easy reach.
The steps to 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.
How to use the controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.
Follow the example
Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
An important reminder
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
