CardSense is a memory game for the IBM computer. To begin, type START at the floppy disk prompt if your computer has an EGA or VGA graphics card, or STARTC if it has a CGA card.
The computer lays 52 cards face down on the screen. You must use the numeric keypad arrows to move a dot from one card to another, then press Enter to turn the card over. Turn over 2 cards in each turn; if they form a pair, you get credit for a match. There are two wild cards that always match any card on the board. The game ends when all 52 cards are matched, or when two non-matching cards remain. The screen shows the number of matches and turns taken; the object is to end the game in as few turns as possible.
If you play the EGA version, you can choose between two levels of difficulty. Level 1 accepts any pair as a match, while Level 2 requires that a matched pair must be the same color. If you don’t have a numeric keypad, use the 2-4-6-8 keys.

Another thing that really makes CardSense enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to CardSense. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
