Memory
Flip two cards per turn, remember where they are and collect the most matching pairs.
How to play
All cards lie face down in a grid. On your turn flip two cards.
If they have the same rank you keep the pair and flip again.
If not, they stay visible until the next player starts their turn, then turn back over.
When the grid is empty the player with the most pairs wins. Play on a 24, 36 or 52-card grid.
About Memory
Memory, also called Concentration, lays every card face down in a grid. On your turn you flip two: if they match in rank you keep them and go again, and if not they are turned back. You can play on 24, 36 or 52 cards, and the player with the most pairs wins.

Tips for Memory
- Flip unseen cards first. A new card gives you information, and a card you have already seen only helps if you remember where its partner is.
- Try to remember positions by row and column rather than trying to recall every card.
- After a miss, pay attention to what your opponent flips as well as what you flip.
Questions about Memory
How many people can play Memory?
Memory is played by between 2 and 4 players. Real players and bots can share a table, so a game can always start even if you do not have enough people.
Can I play Memory against the computer?
Yes. Pick easy, medium or hard bots and start straight away. Bots only use what a player in their seat could see, so they cannot peek at your cards.
Can I play Memory online with friends?
Yes. Create a private room and share its code, or join a quick match. If someone drops out mid-game, a bot takes over their seat.
