So, while it\u2019s good when you need to <em>find<\/em> an image, it\u2019s awful if you need to <em>use<\/em> an image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s find some images! This game is called Get Back to Frog. Here\u2019s how you play it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The game is <strong>co\u00f6perative<\/strong>, takes <strong>10-30 minutes<\/strong> to play, and you can play with <strong>1-5 players<\/strong>, though maybe more, as long as you can all see the screen and can easily talk with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Declare a target image from your imagination like \u201cA frog on a plate\u201d Or \u201cSurfing donkey\u201d.<\/li><li>Open up Pinterest.<\/li><li>You may not go back or do any searches. <\/li><li>Come to an agreement about which image is closest to the one you want to find, then click that image.<\/li><li>Repeat until you have found your target image!<\/li><li>If you click an ad, you lose! Hand the screen to another player so they get a chance.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes and Advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Beware of dragons! People <em>love<\/em> to draw dragons. Once you\u2019re in a dragon hole, it\u2019s hard to get out. Dragons breed dragons!<\/li><li>Sometimes you remember where you went wrong and have to get back to frog to get going in the right direction. Finding your way back to where you went wrong is like 75% of the game!<\/li><li>Freely pass control of the screen or mouse to other players. Sometimes one of you is on fire with seeing connections, or sometimes they\u2019re frustrated and want someone else to have the responsibility.<\/li><li>This game is great to play in bed with a sweetheart. My partner and I spontaneously invented it while trying to get back to a picture of a frog we&#8217;d seen earlier.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/image.png 1080w, https:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/image-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/image-768x149.png 768w, https:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/image-1024x198.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Modular systems are a function of industrial society.
