Four types of skill cards: 3 Cards You can flip three cards instead of the usual two, giving you an advantage early in the game. Darkness Hide the images of cards your opponent has flipped, confusing their memory and strategy. Shuffle Reset the position of memorized cards, disrupting your opponent’s plans. See through View the image on a specific card, giving you the information you need to make a perfect match.
