What is a matching pairs game?
Matching pairs (also called Memory, Concentration, Pelmanism, or Memory match) is a simple card matching game. Cards or tiles are placed face down. You flip two per turn. If they match, you keep the pair and score; if not, they flip back. The player with more pairs wins.
