Matcha: Strategy and Memory game

Angol leírás

Matcha is a two player game where players aim to collect either 6 unique chips or a set of 3 identical chips.

At the beginning of the game, one chip is placed faced-up, with a round token placed around it.

Players need to turn 2 tiles. Paired with the tile that was already faced-up with the token around it, players hope to find either a Run, a Long Run or a Match.

A run is: consecutive numbers 1/2/3, 2/3/4, 3/4/5, 4/5/6.
A long run is: consecutive numbers that have one digit between them: 1/3/5 and 2/4/6.

A match is:** Similar numbers such as 1/1/1 or 2/2/2.

If the player does not find any of those with the chips they selected, they move the token to another faced-up chip and turn back the other ones.

The strategy resides on which chip to keep at every successful turn, to gain advantage over the opponent.

Sometimes, after realizing your first pick will not allow you to do any runs or matches, it is sometimes better to not encover a new chip, in order to not help the other player.
