It features a game where players pair different moon phases to complete cycles, showcasing the transitions between new and full moons.
Describing the game, Google stated, “This interactive Doodle celebrates December’s final Half Moon! This monthly card game challenges you to play against the moon and test your knowledge of lunar cycles.”
The game begins with a brief introduction to the significance of December’s Half Moon and rewards players with points for correctly matching moon phases.
