Name of a
card game suitable for the
young, the
bored and the
restless. Take a set of cards consisting of pairs of cards (
e.g., all the black cards of a deck, so you'd match the
queen of
spades to the
queen of
clubs), shuffle them, and place them face down on a surface. Each
player then turns over one card, and then another. When a
pair of matching cards is revealed, the player collects that pair; if the cards don't
match, they are turned over again. The modification may come if the player has to shout ``snap'' to claim a revealed pair of cards. The game is
won by the
player with the most pairs when all the cards have been collected.
The solitaire version, without the shouting, has the goal of finding all the pairs with the least number of turns. A version of it can be found on some cellphones, including the Nokia 6188, which calls it ``Memory.''
