Frequently asked questions

How do I assemble the cards?

Print both pages. Back pages onto each other (face + back), glue them, then cut along the grid lines. Or use thick cardstock for the face page only.

What age for memory games?

Simple 8-pair games work well from age 3โ€“4. 12-pair games are suitable from age 5โ€“6.

Can I make the game harder?

Increase the number of pairs (up to 12) for more challenge. Future updates will allow mixing categories.

Do the cards have word labels?

Yes โ€” each face card shows an emoji and its word label, supporting vocabulary development alongside memory skills.
