About the game
A card with many lines written. You will make your face according to what you drew from it. It can be a self-taken photograph, or it can be made by combining various pieces. Pieces are limited, but depending on your creativity, you can make a look that surprises everyone. Win it if everyone can hit the subject line! Can you describe your feelings well "face"? —description from the publisher (translated)
