Playing cards Alexander Cards Black Peter Memory — Vegetables and Fruits edition

Alexander Cards Black Peter Memory — Vegetables and Fruits edition is a family card game that blends the traditional Black Peter mechanic with memory matching.

How to use

Shuffle the deck and deal cards or lay them face down depending on the chosen variant. Players take turns revealing cards to find matching vegetable or fruit pairs; when a match is made the pair is removed from play and the player keeps the cards. Play continues until most pairs are collected and one player is left holding the single Black Peter card; that card indicates the round’s loser according to standard Black Peter rules. Rules can be adjusted for younger children by removing the Black Peter card or by allowing extra turns on successful matches.

Usage recommendations

Use on a flat, stable surface with adequate space to spread cards. For younger children, supervise turns and consider simplifying rules or shortening rounds. Store the deck in a protective box to preserve card edges and illustrations for repeated use.
