CardMatch

About

CardMatch is a puzzle game where you flip picture cards to find matching pairs. A grid of 36 cards is laid face down and you turn two at a time. If they match you keep them if not they flip back. The goal is to clear the board with as few moves as possible. Memory and pattern recognition are key since you have to recall where each card landed. This game has been around since the mid 90s and its stripped down approach shows no signs of aging. With no frills or complications it focuses purely on the challenge of memory matching. Players appreciate the simplicity and the way it tests short term recall. Its lack of complexity makes it easy to pick up but harder to master.
