3. Next, place cards 25 and 26 in the middle 2 rows as the 7th column.
4. Repeat the process placing a second card on top of each of the cards already placed making a pair of cards in each of the 26 positions.

Playing the game - The Rules
Check out the YouTube video on the rules for the game.
No sound is needed - Just check out the caption and see what's happening - Self explanatory but we'll explain it anyway ;)
Decide who will go first. TIP: Typically it is the youngest player that goes first.
​
1. The player chooses their first card and carefully turns it over. (Be sure not to disrupt the surrounding cards)
​
2. The player then selects another card and turns it over.
​
3. If the two cards are a matching pair then they take the two cards and start a player stack. The player is awarded another turn for making a match and goes again.
4. If the cards are not a match they are turned back over and placed at the bottom of the pile (if there are 2 cards) and it is now the next players turn. If there is only 1 card then the card is simply turned over. In the example below the Yellow 1 BTC card will be placed under the card, that it was previously on top of. Similarly the Blue 2 DASH card will be placed under the card that it was previously on top of.
​
5. The next player chooses their first card and turns it over. If it is a match for one of the cards the previous player turned over, and that card is back at the top of the 2 card pile, then they try to remember where that matching card was and turn it. If they are successful at making a match they place the cards in their stack and choose another card.
​
6. If the first card turned over was not a match for one previously turned over the player selects another card in an attempt of making a pair.
7. If they are unsuccessful in making a match they are turned back over and placed at the bottom of the pile (if there are 2 cards)and it is now the next players turn. If there is only 1 card then the card is simply turned over. The turn then passes on to the next player.
8. A players turn is not over until they are unable to make a matching pair.
9. The game continues in this fashion until all the cards are played or there is a remaining stack of cards where the matching cards are on top of each other. If there are matching cards happen to be one on top of the other then that pile (or piles) is considered “dead” and are not counted towards any players pile and the game is ended.
​
Winning the Game
Once all the cards have been played the player with the most matching pairs, in their Player Stack, is the winner.
​
Special Cards
Ninja Swap Card
After making a match of this card the player is allowed to swap any 2 cards before taking their next turn. No player may observe the move. The swap is a “Ninja Stealth Move”. The matched "Ninja Swap" cards are added to the Player Stack and count as a matching pair.
​
Note: The player making the swap MAY NOT LOOK AT THE CARDS when swapping them out. They have to rely on their keen Ninja Sense of memory to remember which card is where so that they may benefit from the move.
​
TIP: A variation of the game could be to allow everybody to see the move so be careful about being too obvious with cards that are well known where they are…
Ninja Peak Card
After making a match of this card the player is allowed to take a private peek at any card before taking their next turn. Only the player that made the match can take a “Ninja Peak” at the card of their choice. The matched "Ninja Peak" cards are added to the Player Stack and count as a matching pair.
​
TIP: Just because it is another players turn definitely doesn’t mean you should stop paying attention. The cards that other players flip over could be the match you’re looking for and you also need to remember the order in the stack of 2 cards that the match is made.
​
If you have identified a match, keep track of where they are in the stack and work your way around to bringing both of the cards to the top of their respective stacks. The key is to do it subtly so that your opponent doesn’t notice what you are doing…
