City Memory Match: a page of picture cards from the Medieval Kingdom between the key to all 42 places and a page of name cards.

How it works

  1. Print and cut. Card stock is best, so the pictures don't show through. Print the backs on the other side if you like.
  2. Lay the cards face down. Start with one world for young players, and add more as they grow.
  3. Find the pairs. Turn over two cards. A pair? Keep it and go again. The most pairs wins.
