This game is much like the few years later published What Were You Thinking? The objective is for teammates to think of the same list of five words when viewing a common card (e.g. a picture of an apple). For each matching entry, the partners move forward on the game board. Some editions include peel-up erasing tablets, others a simple writing pad and the players are expected to provide pens or pencils.
