It is a particularly good game for young children, though adults may find it challenging and
stimulating as well. The scheme is often used in quiz shows and can be employed as an
educational game.
Over the course of the game, it becomes known where certain cards are located, and so upon
turning up one card, players with good memory will be able to remember where they have already
seen its pair.
