This is the typical match-finding game among a series of tokens laid out on the table face down.
In this case, we have prepared 20 pairs of cards with different symptoms that cause drops in sugar.
It is a game that allows you to play alone or in a group, and depending on age, more or fewer pairs will be used.
Each turn, one of the players picks up two cards to try to form a pair of equal images.
If they are different, put them back as they were and move on to the next player. If you have formed a pair, you keep it. The winner is the player who gets the most pairs.
