Do you see a brain…
…or a hamburger bun? Quickly start a laughter-filled conversation and get to know folks with this simple card game! Your friends’ brains will delight you as the simple shapes on the cards inspire vastly different interpretations.

Instructions:
To play, place a card face up on the table. Use a timer to count down a minute as players write lists of all the things they see in the image. A square, for example, becomes sugar cube, a yawning robots mouth, and the plan view of an elevator shaft. Repeat for three cards. Players then compare lists and earn points for each unique interpretation.
