How to play

Choose a country collection and board size. Turn over two cards at a time and find matching flags from the same country. Every revealed card shows a flag and its country name. Matched pairs stay visible; other cards turn face down again. Revealing two cards counts as one attempt. Find every pair. There is no time limit. Small collections automatically use a smaller board. Changing the language or refreshing preserves your game. Keyboard: Tab and arrows select a card; Enter or Space flips it.
