About this game
Second Guess is a memory game with face-down tiles and adjustable board settings. Reveal two tiles, remember their pictures and find matching pairs. Depending on the chosen rules, a pair disappears or stays face up; the game tracks time and score.
The original program supports solo play, an optional computer opponent and local turn-taking for two to four players. Keyboard play moves the pointing hand with the arrow keys and flips a tile with Enter or Space. Mouse selection is also supported. Options include different tile sets and scoring variations.
This is Nels Anderson’s 1.1 release from July 1995, following the original 1994 game published by Arcanum Computing. It is shareware: the original package is supplied for evaluation, with continued-use registration described in its documentation. All bundled files and notices are retained, including the separate Tile Factory tool; this page starts the game itself.

Watch both tiles when a pair fails. Their display time can be adjusted in the original setup menu.
