A walkthrough of the rules
- Turn over any face-down card.
- Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.

See how the rules apply
Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
