As I read the article, the target roll-out for Match Madness is essentially limited to courses from English to a few foreign languages. This game allows for practice using picture cards and physical blocks in color/shape sorting, pattern recognition, spatial relationships, and processing speed. They should move you back a level or two to give you some chance at success after getting to higher levels!

If no one objects, the player takes the card (revealing another pattern below it) and play continues. As soon as a player matches one of the shown pattern cards, they shout “Match” and point to the pattern they match. While great for kids, it’s also fun for the whole family — mom and dad will undoubtably enjoy playing along and racing the kids as well! There are 2 different ways to play Match Madness indicated in the rules — “Quick Play” and “Total Madness”.If the speed and competition factor get you frustrated, Match Madness can also be played as a satisfying solo puzzle. Because I saw at least one post somewhere in which someone was saying they thought Match Madness was so difficult it was just a foil to get you to spend gems. Our iteration of the game, To Each Their Own, is a way to level the playing field so players that aren’t as quick at solving puzzles can still enjoy playing.

The aim of the game is to recreate the patterns shown on the deck of pattern cards out of your set of blocks, scoring points according to the difficulty of the design. This makes me not want to use this learning feature, as the text on a phone screen is already so small. For a slightly more complex (but still very quick) game, follow the ‘total madness’ instructions below the video.

So when you complete the first tier, don’t feel as though you have to rush straight into the second tier. I made 151 matches, still had 4 on my screen, and who knows how many more they expected me to complete. He’s a bit too young to race his siblings and come out on top, but allowing him the opportunity to work through the challenges at his own pace is not only helping him get to that level faster, but it’s so rewarding to see his gears turning as he tries out different blocks to make each pattern!

If they agree it’s right, take the card for the design you’ve completed and put it in your scoring pile, revealing the card underneath which is now in play. Other users should still have access to timed challenges in the league section, but it will probably be a different challenge, such as Lightning Round or XP Ramp Up. Since I posted tips here on how to get through Match Madness, I attempted it with a language I was much less practiced in (Turkish) and it took me over a week of and maybe a hundred or more hours of failed attempts before I could finally get through it consistently. The adults would race to complete the more difficult puzzles while the kids would race to complete the easier ones. I also recommend (to maximize point getting, if thats your thing) to NOT try for level 9 because you only get 15xp if you don’t complete it but lower levels give you 20 or 30 xp for not completing the level.Cards are taken from each deck equal to the number of players and placed in their separate level stacks face up in the middle of the table. Each player chooses secretly which puzzle to attempt, and points are awarded for complete puzzles based on difficulty. TWO GAME MODES FOR HIGHER REPLAYABILITY: Choose between Quick-Play (speed) and Total Madness (highest score wins). If you manage to complete the third and final section, you’ll earn a solid 40 XP — but to do this you need to get a whopping 40 correct matches before the time runs out.
