Comment(by ohshima):

 Replying to [comment:2 Simon]:
 > Why should we remove it? I think Memorize does a nice job.

 A nice job of what?

 This is an emulation of an old media (i.e., cards made by paper).
 Computer is good at mimicking old media but it is not where it really
 shines.

 If kids are going to spend more than (say) 15 minutes to play with it, we
 may not be actually helping them.  Training kids short term memory and
 reflection is our goal?

 This kind of game can be made by kids in Etoys or Pippy.  It is similar to
 the recent discussion on the "openability", but I would hope that kids can
 explore the inside of this kind of stuff.  ("Show source feature is a
 start, but can they change the code?)

 The game is great fun for first 15 minutes, I agree.  So, there is a
 reason for it to be there just to get kids familiarize with the Sugar
 environment, etc.  However...
