Game guide · XIAMI-GZS

Read before your next round of Memory Pairs

Start Memory Pairs by looking at the playing area and its controls. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Give this approach a try

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.

From the start of a round

  1. Turn over any face-down card.
  2. Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
  3. Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
  4. Continue until every pair is visible.

Your inputs

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

See the idea in action

Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.

Pay attention to this rule

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
