As a kid memory macthing games were one of my favorites and with a photographic memory I was very good at it (Hmm… always winning, maybe that is why it was my favorite). Last night I ran across Avalisa’s new memory game and I was inspired to find all the great memory games. Here are 7 Modern Memory Games from Designer to DIY.
