This engaging game not only hones your memory but also provides an opportunity to expand your vocabulary while competing against other players for the top spot on the leaderboard. If you’re already familiar with the rules, there’s no reason to hesitate in starting your game.

Kartuves is designed to be both fun and educational. With ten categories ranging from classic themes like Countries, Animals, and Capitals to uniquely tailored options such as Samogitian Words and Cities of Lithuania, players are guaranteed to encounter a wide array of new terms.

The game is accessible for the youngest players as well, offering an excellent way to learn letters and proper spelling.

Kartuves also features three levels of difficulty, enabling players to choose a challenge that suits their skill level. Should you find the gameplay too simple, you can easily switch difficulty levels to rediscover the excitement of Kartuves.

A particularly interesting category within Kartuves is "Samogitian Words." For instance, do you know what "Bimbals," "Bolbės," "Ciongs," or "Isėveizietė" mean in Samogitian? Engaging with this category will undoubtedly enrich your understanding of this unique aspect of Lithuanian language and culture.

As a classic game enjoyed even on paper, Kartuves has an intriguing history. While the exact origin remains unclear, it can be traced back to at least 1984 in a book by Alice Gomme on children's games. Notably, principles from Kartuves have inspired television adaptations such as Brazil’s "Let's Play Hangman" in the 1960s and BBC’s "Letterbox" launched in 2017. Moreover, Kartuves has influenced popular TV games like "Wheel of Fortune." Over the years, Kartuves has proven itself to be a timeless and versatile game suitable for both children and adults alike.
