Introducing the Phenomenal Black Women Memory Matching Game!

Your favorite portraits and inspirational quotes are now an interactive educational card game. Each playing card features a quote portrait and is printed on a thick matte laminate cardstock with rounded corners for durability.

Included is an accordion-fold zine with brief bios of the twelve featured phenomenal Black women - perfect for placing upright while you play and learn! Each zine is made to order, made by hand, and completely unique. Unlike the matching game cards, no two zines are ever alike! Your zine will be carefully crafted just for you with the materials I have on hand - quirky handmade imperfections and variations included.🧡

All this goodness comes fastidiously packed in a sturdy game box for games on the go and easy gifting!

 

Card game box is opened with two playing cards on the table. One card is placed to show the card backs with the text “Phenomenal Black Women, Lydia Makepeace” and the other shows a card front with a portrait of Nina Simone. Also pictured is a lavender booklet with a brief bio on Nina Simone on the first page.
