After each player has each made 8 cards, shuffle all 32 cards together and arrange them facedown into a rectangle.

The first player turns over two cards. If their values match, the player scores one point and turns over two more cards. If they do not match, the player turns the cards facedown again, no points are scored, and it becomes the next player's turn.

Players take turns until all cards are matched. The player with the most points wins.
