The aim of this game is to discover and collect as many matching pairs of heart-shaped tiles as possible. At the start, all cardboard tiles are shuffled and placed face down on the table, either randomly, or in a tidily ordered rectangle. The starting player picks two tiles and reveals them for all to see. If they match, she keeps them, and takes another turn. If not, she turns the tiles face down again and it's the next player's turn. The games ends when the last re

Our heart-shaped matching pairs is a great game for the whole family. Sharp memory skills are important, as is a dose of luck, and players of all ages get a chance. The rules are most simple and no time is lost with long explanations before getting into the action. A game doesn't take too long and is entertaining all the way through. The training for your memory is a side benefit that comes free with this fun game.
At LUUDOO, we provide you with a set of tools that are easy to use while maximising your creative options. For our matching hearts this means you can place any pictures you may choose on the cards' faces. For the back of the cards this could be a picture of the recipient of your gift, a text message, an overarching motif or anything else you fancy - the choice is yours.
The front side is where you have lots of space to eternalise the newlyweds, pictures from their great day or memories of the times you spent with your loved ones. It will come as no surprise that we sell a lot of the heart-shaped variety of our custom concentration games around valentines day and during the wedding season. While we also see the matching pairs used years later as an alternative wedding album.
Additionally, you have the option of customising the game's box. To this end, we offer you a whole range of templates, for you to choose one that conventiently suits your purpose. From experience, we know that our matching hearts are often created as a gift for couples. So it's a perfect fit for weddings. Folks have designed there unique editions with beautiful pictures of the wedding guests; or with photos from the big day, created as a gift to the guests, guaranteed to bring back beautiful (and funny!) memories. For Valentine's Day, photos of the couple, holding special moments in the relationship, like holidays or the honeymoon, are amazing.

A4 printable rules for Match games
Players collect as many pairs as possible. The player with the most pairs wins.
All cards are placed on face down on the table and shuffled thoroughly. They may then be left unordered; or they may be ordered into a rectangular shape. The players decide which way to play, as long as cards are in separate positions without overlap.
The youngest, oldest, shortest, … - whoever players determine as the starting player. Play then proceeds in clockwise direction.
In turn, players turn two cards face up. If the two cards are identical, the player may bag the pair, and take another turn. If the cards do not match, they must remain face up for at least a short period of time, giving all players the chance to memorise the cards and their respective positions, before they are turned face down again, and play proceeds with the next player in sequence.
If a player turns over the wrong second card, only to remember the correct location of the match at that moment, s/he may absolutely not flip over a third card. Play proceeds with the next player in sequence.
When the final pair is revealed and taken, all players stack their collected cards. The tallest tower wins the game.
In case of a tie, all tied players play a tie-breaker with only nine pairs.
In this variation, players look for matching but not identical pairs. A photograph of Albert Einstein may match his famous formula E=mc2, for instance. LUUDOO also offers a customised
.When playing the game with small kids, or for the first time, use a smaller number of card pairs, making it easier to memorise card positions and shortening the duration of a game.
