Matching Game Rules

Introduction

Matching game is a card game played by two players in which cards are placed faced down in a 6x4 grid and the players take turn selecting two cards at a time to turn over and see if they match. Two cards match if they have the same value on them and if a player discovers a match, they earn a point.

Gameplay

Initially, all the cards in the grid are face down. The first player will select a face-down card and turn it over, then select another and turn it over. There are two possible situations: the cards match or they don't. If they do, the player earns a point and those cards stay face up. If they don't, the cards are turned face down again. In either case, it is now the other players turn and that player will take their turn in the same fashion as the first. The players alternate taking guesses until all the cards have been turned over. At this point, the player with the most points is the winner. If there is a tie, both players win!

Considerations

When selecting which cards to use, there must be matches for every card or else the game can never be finished.
