“Back to School” or “First day at school” card game with lots of school and classroom icons. A fun way to start school or a first lesson after the holidays… 31 cards with 6 symbols each Cards are distributed between players. One card is placed in the middle. Players hold their cards as a pile with the top card showing symbols. The player who can first find the matching symbol between his top card and the card in the middle calls out that symbol and places his top card in the middle. Now the matching symbol of that card with the players’ top cards has to be found. The player who manages to get rid of all his cards first is the winner.
