I enjoy the memory game Nako. It is played on a 6 by 7 square board of tiles, all of which are blank (I picture them as flipped over, with pictures on the hidden side) at the start of the game. Each time you click on a tile, the picture on the tile appears. It has a tile wiith the same picture somewhere. The object of the game is to find all the tile pairs.

After you click on a tile its picture appears, but it disappears as soon as you pick another tile, unless that tile has the same picture, in which case both tiles stay visible for the rest of the game. When all the tiles are visible, the game is over. A running score is shown, indicating the number of clicks it is taking you to display all the tiles.

I strive for the lowest possible score. When I started, 70 was pretty good. Now, 40+ or 50+ is good. I got in the 30s a couple of times.

Here are some tips to improving.

1. Make up a one word descriptor for each picture. It doesn't matter if the descriptor is accurate, as long as it makes sense to you. I call one of the tiles 'nothing' because I can't figure out what it is.

2. Go thru the tiles in the same order each time.

3. Try forcing the tile names into a story, no matter how absurd. Example: I was asleep, and when I woke up I discovered two guys pointing at me. One of them was holding a sword. I jumped up into a split, then walked to the lake beside the temple. There I saw a beautiful field of yellow flowers.... etc. This sort of story will help you remember the approximate location of the tiles.

4. Don't expect perfection.

BTW, info on adding your own tileset is here:
