CallerTots
The littlest runs the game. Everyone has a picture board; the 3- to 5-year-old sees one big picture and calls it any way they can — the word, the noise, an action — and everyone covers the match with a bean. Tiered boards for older players. A Vietnamese deck for Tết.
Built for sittings of about 10 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.
