How to play

Tap Start, and 12 face-down cards appear.
Tap two cards at a time to flip them over.
If the colors match, the pair stays face up. If not, they flip back over after a moment.
Find all 6 pairs to see how many tries and how much time it took.

Tips

Remember the color and spot of every card you've seen. It helps a lot when you pick your second card.
For the first few turns, flip cards you haven't seen yet to gather information.
The best possible score is 6 tries (no misses at all). Try to lower your number of tries.
