Concentration (Memory)

This game may be played by 2 or more players.

The object is to get as many pairs as possible, and the one who gets the most pairs wins the game.

By watching carefully, you can remember where certain cards are. After turning up your first card, you may remember what card to turn up to find the matching card.

1. The dealer shuffles the cards and lays them out one by one on a large table, with the faces down and spaced so that they do not overlap.

2. Each player in turn turns up any two cards, one at a time, leaving them in their original positions on the table. If they are a pair, he takes them and turns up two more cards. If they are not a pair, he turns them face down again (still in their original position) and the player to his left takes his turn.

3. The game is over when there are no cards left face down in the middle of the table. The player who has the most pairs wins.
