This is the name of a children's game where you have to find out which cards are the same and so form a pair (they're lying face down on the table) - there are various forms of it - this one is called 'Number Pairs' - some of the cards have a number on them and other cards have photos of a corresponding number of objects or animals. So would you call it - cluiche péire uimhreacha? (In French it's called 'memory' - i mBéarla - as the children have to remember which cards they've already turned over.)

We called it "Concentration" when I was a kid.

We used to call it Memory.

At least as far as I remember....

I've made a mistake there - shouldn't it be - cluiche péire na huimhreacha ? and is péire the right word or should it be péireáil ?

So "Memory" in English English, "Pairs" in Irish-English, and "Concentration" in American-English. Talk about your people separated by a common language!

Well being Irish, Memory in Irish-English as well, so if we can find someone who called it Concentration in Ireland we've rebuilt the bridge ....

It's definitely on the cards -
