Memory Tutorial

Needed

52 card deck; two or more players

Setup

Place all the cards face down into rows and columns.

Objective

The objective of the game is to flip over the most pairs in the same card rank.

Game Play

The first player will flip over two cards, one card at a time. If the cards are not the same rank, they are flipped back over and play moves to the next player. If the cards flipped are the same rank, the pair is kept, and the player gets to go again. Players continue to take turns until all the cards have been matched.

It is essential to pay attention while other players are taking their turns to try to remember where cards are located.

To add a challenge, make it that pairs have to match rank and color.

Winning

Once all the pairs have been matched, the players count how many pairs they collected during the game. The player with the most pairs wins the game.
