This is game designed to introduce the fascinating world of LinearB ideograms crafted 3,500 years ago by the Mycenaean Greeks. Here's how to play:" ① Tap the icon below to begin. ② Tap the cards sequentially. ③ When two consecutive cards match, they will disappear. ④ Your speed determines your score – the faster you are, the more points you earn. ⑤ Be careful! If you tap the same card more than 5 times, there's a penalty: the cards will shuffle, making the game more challenging. ⑥ Need help? Tap the “refresh” button (below right) to shuffle the cards and briefly reveal their flip side to assist you. Remember, after 5 shuffles, the flip side will no longer be visible. ⑦ Once all cards are matched, the game is ⑧ Ready for a new challenge? Simply tap the 'NEW' button to start again." Enjoy the game and immerse yourself in the ancient world of Linear B ideograms!"
