I have noticed that questions about the Ancient card game has been coming up lately. I also noticed an increase in requests for items from the AC particularly the fountain. Some suggestions are take a picture of the turned over cards. I have a question? If one does not want to spend a tool to see all the cards, has anyone found (currently) if checking card row by row or in columns makes it easier? Working two rows or columns at a time? The AC recently changed with new graphics and apparently (from what I can tell) a new algorithm to distribute the cards. I have seen a few more pairs adjacent, but it might just be me. I've been checking in column pairs starting from the left. I can just finish the AC in time. I do flip over cards rapidly. I try to remember the area the card was in the first time I see it and rapidly flip the cards in that region when a second card of that type is first flipped. Anyone else have patterns they have tried?
