How to play Concentration

  1. 1All 52 cards are laid out face down in four rows. Nobody holds a hand.
  2. 2On your turn, turn over any two cards, one at a time, so everyone can see them. If they are the same rank (two 7s, two queens), you keep the pair and take another turn.
  3. 3If they don’t match, they stay face up for a moment so everyone can take a look, then turn back over when the next card is turned. Play passes to the left.
  4. 4Watch every card that turns over and remember where it is. When all the pairs are taken, whoever collected the most pairs wins.
  5. 5Playing alone? Clear all 26 pairs in as few turns as you can.
