We played it when I was in high school, but we called it Egyptian Ratscrew.
(Egyptian Ratscrew, or "ERS" in the company of adults, is a card game that, depending on variant, can include 1-back, 2-back, or 3-back, among other simultaneous pattern recognition tasks. With a nonstandard deck of cards with more features, e.g. Set cards, it would be trivial to adjust it to multi-feature n-back.)
Thanks, I played that game a lot but never made the connection.
