The objective of a round

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

From the start of a round

  1. Turn over any face-down card.
  2. Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
  3. Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
  4. Continue until every pair is visible.

Your inputs

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

An example before you play

Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Watch out for this

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
