Puzzle Match puts a new spin on memory and matching games. Play starts with 24 puzzle pieces face down on a surface. On a given turn, one player flips over any two pieces. If the two pieces are halves of the same picture, that player connects them together and keeps the picture. If not, the pieces are returned face down and it is the next player's turn. For example, if you turn up a dolphin's tail and the top half of a seahorse, there's no match, and the pieces go back down. A player a few moves down the line with a good memory who picks up the front half of a dolphin will remember where the tail is and make the match! With each matching pair forming a little two-piece puzzle, players display great satisfaction when fitting them together each time they find a match. Once all the pieces are paired, the player with the most completed pictures is the winner! Promotes abstract thinking, fine motor skills, concentration, memory, recognition and recall, problem solving, spatial thinking.
