Question…does this download include 30 different matching games or only about 15 and each comes in color and black and white?
I consider it 30 different matching games, and so does my 2-year-old for sure. Combining colored and black-and-white versions really ups the level of difficulty. But I can see where you may hesitate to consider the black-and-white games different, so for full disclosure, there are 17 matching games in color and 13 games in black and white that show the same images as 13 other games in color. (The 4 color matching games are only available in color.) Let me know if you have any more questions!
