Concentration

The player with the best memory should win this game.

Number of Players: Any number from two up.

The Deck: Standard 52 card deck.

The Deal: Any player may shuffle the deck and then lay the cards out face down, one at a time. No two cards should either overlap at the corners or touch one another. The entire surface of the table is usually required so the cards have enough room.

Object of the game: To take in pairs of cards of the same denomination, such as two nines or two kings.

The play:

The on who plays first may be selected in any manner. Each player in turn must reverse any two cards on the table, leaving the first face up until he has turned the second. If the two cards form a pair, he takes them and turns up tow more cards. Whenever the two cards he turns up do not form a pair, he turns both cards face down again, letting them remain in exactly the same position on the table they were in when he first turned them. The turn to play now goes to the player at his left.

Scoring. Either of these alternative methods is to be decided upon at the beginning. 1. The player who takes in the greatest number of pairs receives on counter, or chip, or point, from each other player in the game. Should two players tie for the highest number of tricks, they split the winnings. 2. Each player collects one counter from each other player for every pair he has taken in.
