Pelmanism games
29 Mar 2015
This week we played Pelmanism games.
This simple and popular memory game is also known as Concentration or Memory.
In Britain it is called Pelmanism after Christopher Louis Pelman, who founded the "Pelman Institute for the Scientific Development of Mind, Memory and Personality" in London in 1899.
The cards are thoroughly mixed and spread face down on the table.
Players take turns to play. At your turn you turn face up two cards of your choice from the layout. If they match, you take these two cards, store them in front of you, and take another turn. If they do not match, you turn them face down, without changing their position in the layout, and it is the next player's turn.
Play continues until all the cards from the layout have been taken as matched pairs.
Each player scores one point for each pair taken. The player with most points is the winner - if two or more tie for most points they all win.
