Matching pairs cards

Create a set of matching pairs cards (also called Pelmanism).  Each set of cards will contain a number of word cards, and a matching set of picture cards.


Information

How to play
Start the game by mixing up the cards and turning them face down.  The first player selects one card and turns it over; they now have one more go to find the matching card. If they locate a pair, they keep both cards; if they don’t, the cards are turned back over where they were found.  The other player(s) then takes a turn, and play continues until all the pairs have been found. The winner at the end of the game is the person who has collected the largest number of cards.
