Memory Match guide
Flip, remember, match: collect more pairs than anyone else at the table.
How to play Memory Match
- Choose Singleplayer to play against memory bots, Local to pass one device around, or Online for 2-4 players.
- The deck holds 10 pairs of symbols, shuffled face down.
- On your turn, flip any two cards. If the symbols match, you keep the pair and take another turn.
- If they do not match, both cards flip back and the next player goes. Try to remember where they were.
- When every pair has been claimed, the player with the most pairs wins.
Rules
- Exactly two cards are flipped per attempt; you cannot flip a third.
- A matching pair stays face up and scores one point for the player who found it.
- A match earns an immediate extra turn, so hot streaks are possible.
- If the top score is shared, the game is a draw between those players.
Tips and strategy
- Flip an unknown card first and a known card second: you learn a new position without wasting a known one.
- Remember cards by position relative to the edges or corners rather than by counting.
- Watch every opponent's flips as closely as your own; their misses are your free information.
- Early in the game explore widely; late in the game play only sure matches.
