About the School Days What's Missing? Game
A picture-recall challenge based on the classic parlour game. Study a board of pictures for a few seconds, then one quietly disappears — can you say which? Rounds get bigger and faster as you go, and three wrong answers ends the run.
New pencil cases in September, the squeak of chalk, the smell of poster paint — school days nostalgia hits everyone, whether you left last year or fifty years ago. A lovely deck for classrooms, grandparents and everyone between.
How to Play
- Press Start and memorise every picture on the board.
