Quick and original party game! The goal is to make your team guess the words on the cards (names, actions, common sayings,...). But how? Just with shadow puppetry! You won't use your hands, instead you'll move magnetic shapes behind a screen, with the help of two magnetized sticks. The shapes can be animated and you may also add noises to help your team mates. Fun is guaranteed! —description from the publisher (translated)
