Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the game is straightforward: simply designate a flat table area, distribute the mirrors to the players, and place the deck of illustrated cards in the center. Because the game relies on physical mirrors, avoid placing the set near direct heat sources or in areas where the mirrors could be scratched or bent. To maintain the game's longevity, store the cards in their original box after each session to prevent curling or moisture damage. Gently wipe the mirrors with a soft, lint-free cloth if fingerprints obscure the reflection, avoiding abrasive chemicals that might degrade the reflective surface.
