OBJECT OF THE GAME

To collect pairs of cards of the same rank, such as two fours or two aces.

STARTING THE GAME

Any player shuffles the pack and spreads the cards out, face down on a table/the floor in an arrangement that forms a grid, so that no two cards touch or overlap each other.

HOW TO PLAY

Players take turns flipping over two cards at a time, trying to find a matching pair. The first card is left face up until they have turned the second. If the two cards form a pair, they get to keep them and take another turn. If they do not match, the cards are turned back over to the same position and play passes to the next player.

While continuing the game, the only way the sequence of suit can be started is by laying the seven of that suit on the table.

The game continues until all of the cards have been matched and removed from the grid. The player with the most pairs at the end of the game wins.

STRATEGIES

A good strategy is to not turn over the card you are sure of first. For example, if you know exactly where the 3 of spades is, but only think you know where the another 3 is, turn over the guess first. This way if you are wrong, you can then pick a random card and have a chance of getting a match.
