Hi everyone 👋
I’ve just pushed a new update to FlipsMatch with a **new gameplay variant** and a small site improvement.
### What’s new
- 🆕 **Open Cards Mode (明牌玩法)**
- Cards start face-up instead of hidden
- Focus shifts from memory to **speed, pattern recognition, and decision-making**
- A more relaxed and beginner-friendly way to play
- Added a dedicated **Single Player page**
https://www.flipsmatch.com/single-play.html
### About Open Cards Mode
This mode changes how the game feels:
instead of memorizing card positions, players react to visible patterns and try to clear pairs as efficiently as possible.
It’s great for warming up, casual play, or just enjoying the emoji combos without pressure.
### Why this update
FlipsMatch started as a simple memory game, but I want to experiment with small rule changes that create very different experiences.
Open Cards Mode is one of those experiments.
### What’s next
- More rule variations and modes
- Better difficulty tuning
- UI and performance polish
As always, feedback is welcome 🙂
Thanks for playing!
