How the scoring works
SummaryPoints are the only currency that matters each round. Find more pairs than anyone else and you win. Winning rounds back-to-back grows your streak.
- Matched pair earns you points instantly
- Round winner the player with the highest point total
- Win streak increases each time you win a round in a row
Flipping cards and making pairs
Step
During a round, all players share the same board of face-down cards. You tap a card to flip it over, then tap a second one. If the two images match, the pair is yours and you earn points. If they do not match, both cards flip back over and it moves to the next player's turn.
- Tap a card to flip it over.
- If the two images match, the pair is yours and you earn points.
- If they do not match, both cards flip back over and play moves to the next player.
Using memory to stay ahead
TipsBecause every flip happens on a shared board, you can learn from what other players reveal even when it is not your turn. Players who pay close attention early in the round are set up to score heavily later on.
- Watch every flip, not just yours — the board is shared, so each reveal is information you can use.
- Track card positions mentally — remembering where a card sits lets you snap up its pair the moment you spot it.
