Memory Cards

Play Memory Cards free online. Turn over playing cards two at a time and match pairs of the same rank and colour.

The classic concentration game with a real deck. Every card has one partner of the same rank and colour — the 7♥ matches the 7♦, the K♠ matches the K♣. Flip two at a time, remember where everything is, and clear the table in as few moves as you can.
