One way to understand the rules
Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Check this before moving on
You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
