What is it?

Plain old memory: turn over two of the same character and they are yours. The faces are the sixteen types from the Dopamine Brain Quiz. Twelve, sixteen or twenty cards.

A miss stays face-up for nearly a second — flip it back instantly and there is nothing to remember. Solo runs are scored by how few flips you needed.

Two players on one device works too: match and you go again, miss and it passes over. Captured cards get a coloured dot so you can see who took what.
