Google’s half-moon Doodle turns Lunar phases into a game

Today’s Google Doodle is no ordinary tribute, it’s an interactive card game challenging users to outsmart none other than the moon itself. In honor of April’s last half moon, Google has rolled out “Rise of the Half Moon,” the latest installment in its whimsical Doodle game series blending education with entertainment.
Users are invited to play a celestial card showdown by matching lunar phases to gain points and unlock wildcards. Accuracy is key: the more correct your plays, the more you edge toward lunar domination.
The game taps into themes of astronomy, folklore, and logic, turning lunar learning into a competitive quest. Whether you’re a space geek or a casual player, the Doodle offers an engaging way to revisit moon phase knowledge while chasing high scores.
