About the game
Memory, or Concentration, is a card-matching game of recall. Flip two cards at a time; when they match, they stay revealed. Clear the board in as few tries as possible.
How to play
Click a card to flip it, then a second. If they match, they remain face-up. If not, they flip back - remember where they were.
Tips & strategy
['Focus on one region at a time to build a mental map.', 'When you find a match, note the location of the card you revealed alongside it.', 'Revisit earlier flips before guessing blindly.']
Advanced guide
Win at Memory by turning it into an active mapping exercise. After each flip, consciously note the card and its grid position rather than flipping impulsively. Group your attention across the board so a later flip can exploit an earlier sighting.
History & origins
Memory has been a family card game for over a century and is widely used to train recall.
