      • The set of cards must have 1 element in them that matches with another.
    • End your turn by selecting the thumbs up button.
      • Your turn automatically ends when the pair you opened has no matching elements.
      • If the cards you opened has at least 1 matching element, your turn continues.
      • This goes on until you make find a card that doesn’t match or when you select the thumbs up button.
      • When your opponent’s turn ends, it becomes your turn once more.
    • Each time you end a turn, you collect all the cards you’ve matched.
      • The game switches these out with new cards which are face down.
  • Elements
    • The game has 4 elements:
      • Containers
      • Sizes
      • Colors
      • Patterns
    • The elements shown in your current group will light up as you pick cards.
    • To remove a set of cards, they must have 1 element in common.
    • The number of elements in the cards have no bearing on their score value.
  • Scoring
    • Your score is the number of face-up cards multiplied by itself.
      • If you have 2 cards, you receive 4 points, and so on.
      • 3×3 = 9
      • 4×4 = 16
    • You can keep scoring until the game runs out of cards to deal.
      • When there are not enough cards in the deck to fill the playing field with 20 cards you win.
      • Have the highest score at the end of the game to win.
  • Tips
    • Memorize the patterns on each of the cards. If your opponents lose a turn, you can match those cards on your turn.
      • You can use a pen & paper, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, an online word processor, a note keeper like Evernote, or a simple .txt file to track card placements.
    • Stick to smaller sets of cards in the early game to give you an advantage.
      • Your opponent will reveal the cards for you. This will help you create longer matching groups later.
      • Removing the cards will also confound your opponent’s ability to form long chains of their own.
      • If you know where cards of each type are located you can flip over any random card on the deck and know how to make at least a match of 2.
    • When making big sets, use only the elements you know are present in the cards you pick.
      • Don’t push your luck by selecting an un-flipped card.
      • Sometimes, it’s better to settle with a smaller set.
    • If you have the lead you can keep making small matches of 2 cards to eat up the remaining cards in the deck so that your opponent has a lower chance of catching up.
    • If you are far behind it makes sense to go for larger matched sets to score more points per turn.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for people of all ages who like memory card matching games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
