Memory Match Game - Instructions

This type of game is also known as Concentration, Memory, Pelmanism, Shinkei-suijaku, Pexeso, or Pairs.

HOW TO PLAY. Memory Match follows the same rules as other memory match games. Pairs of image cards are shown together briefly on the screen. Then the cards are flipped over to hide the images.

Your goal is to quickly memorize the location of each image, then flip the cards back over to match the pairs.

Memory match games have been used for years to train short-term memory. Initially they were played using two decks of cards, and these days you can find memory match game sets.

In the memory match card game, all cards are laid face down on a table or other flat surface. The game can be played solo, or with two or more players.

Each player takes a turn turning over two cards. If the cards match, they are kept face up, otherwise they are turned face down again.

The object is to turn over more pairs than your opponents, which you can do by better remembering where the various cards are (so you can make pairs when it's your turn).

Anyone trying to hone their focus and short-term memory should challenge their brain with this a few minutes every day.
