How it works

1. Print the main board at actual size, on cardstock if you have it. Laminate it if you like.
2. Keep it on the fridge, by the bed or next to a favorite chair.
3. Point together. Ask one yes or no question at a time, wait, then check back ("Water? Yes?").
4. Type your own words into the blank board before you print, or glue a spare card over any square.
