Do you really want to exit the program if they get the card wrong? Sounds like you'll have a lot of very short games to me. A do/while loop is close to a natural fit for this, since you want to execute the shuffle once first before testing, although I think it'll make more sense to move the user input and testing part from the while condition and into the do block. 

do {
    shuffle and display card;
    read input;
} while (input correct);
exit(0);

Of course, since the program as described could be written in so few lines utilizing a shuffling module (e.g., Algorithm::Numerical::Shuffle since it came up earlier today), you might as well use a label and a goto :^)
