       | Ha! We decided to make a version of these for kids at our
       | microschool (with their faces on the cards) for an end of year
       | gift. Didn't realise the math was going to tricky. Found a page
       | with code to generate combinations. Luckily, being a microschool
       | meant we had the right number of kids plus educators for a small
       | pack that covered all of them equally. Was fun diving into it and
       | the kids loved the cards.

         | Usually I'd see a new-to-me term like "microschool" and have
         | some interest piqued. Somehow the way it was mentioned without
         | explanation as if it were well-known, and my cynical guess that
         | it belongs to the same genre as "unschool" and delusion-
         | motivated homeschool, makes me think I don't want to know.

         | Hopefully I'm all wrong and it's just a neologism for a small
         | school. In that case have you tried Dobble XL? I feel like it
         | adds a nice physical element which appeals to kids that might
         | prefer it to sitting still at a table to play a concentration-
         | heavy card game.
         | 
         | Also Set is a great game in this genre and even easier to DIY
         | the cards.

           | The words that trigger us...who'd have guessed :) Well, it's
           | more DIY schooling on a small scale to allow for meaningful
           | personalization. There is some thinking and structure to it.

             | To be clear, (because online discourse demands) I don't
             | mean that all homeschooling is delusion motivated, I just
             | mean that some definitely is (e.g. vaccination, extreme
             | religion etc.). Thanks for the info.

       | finite Mobius planes.
