Short description
The game includes 100 double sided photo cards. Every player receives a card with a number (1-10) and a meeple of the same color as the card. Also everyone gets 10 cards with the numbers 1-10 to vote.
One by one a photo is placed on the board. Then all players vote secretly who they think which of the other players ‘matches’ that photo. Voting cards are turned and points collected.
