3Pelmanism is a simple game requiring very few instructions, but
3for those who have never played, here they are. Basically, the
3game involves dealing cards randomly on an 8X8 grid (here done

3cards- if the two cards match, the cards are removed and the
3player gets another go.

3be missed. Desktop conversion James Cavanagh.

1!Chain
3This is a brilliant game.  It’s played on an 8x8 grid with up
