A fun, interactive web-based version of the classic Spot It! matching card game.

The game uses the mathematical principles of Spot It! where:

• Each card contains 8 symbols
• Any two cards share exactly one symbol (and no more!)
• The game generates 57 unique cards using combinatorial mathematics

1. Start the Game: Click the "Start Game" button to begin
2. Click Matching Symbols: Click on matching symbols between the two cards (there will always be one)
3. Strategic Timing: The faster you find matches, the more points you earn
4. Avoid Wrong Clicks: Clicking on empty areas or wrong symbols will cost you points
5. Beat the Clock: You have 60 seconds to find as many matches as possible!

• Correct Match: Earn 5 × (time remaining) points
  • Example: If you have 45 seconds left, you get 5*45 = 225 points!
• Wrong Click: Lose 150 points
• Strategy: The sooner you find the match, the more points you win!

• Clickable Symbols: Each individual symbol on the cards is clickable
• Visual Feedback: Clicked symbols are highlighted with colors
• Smart Matching: Only matching symbols between both cards count
• Beautiful Design: Colorful, kid-friendly interface with smooth animations
• Responsive Layout: Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
• Score Tracking: Real-time score display with point messages
• Timer: 60-second countdown timer
• Game Over Screen: Shows final score with option to play again

2. No Installation Required: This is a pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript application
3. Works Offline: Once downloaded, the game works without an internet connection

• Look for Patterns: Scan both cards quickly for matching colors or shapes
• Click Strategically: Only click symbols you're confident match
• Speed Matters: Earlier matches earn more points
