Pirate Pairs Card Game

Who collects the most pairs? Shuffle the cards and put them face down on the table. The player in turn turns over two cards. If the cards are identical and form a pair, the player may keep them. In that case, the player may continue to turn over two other cards. If they are not identical, the cards must be folded back. Then it is the next player's turn. The game continues until all the cards are off the table. The player with the most pairs wins.
