The objective of a round
Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
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.
The controls to know
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Follow the 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. Look for the relevant detail.
Notice this detail
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. 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.
