About this game

Imagine hands your team a stack of clear plastic cards showing simple shapes and icons, and asks you to build a word, phrase, or scene entirely in the air using layers, motion and a lot of frantic improvisation. No talking, no drawing, just stacking translucent symbols on top of each other while your team races to guess what you're building before time runs out. A single card rarely says much, but three or four combined into a moving little tableau can suddenly click into something unmistakable. Silly, surprisingly expressive, and a guaranteed source of how did you even think of that.
