Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is minimal—simply open the box and shuffle the deck to begin. These cards are compatible with any age group capable of reading comprehension; however, some questions may be more suited to older students or adults.

If the cards become dusty, gently wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth, as moisture or cleaning solvents may damage the card stock.
