Presented as a "game of patience" and a "puzzle-style puzzle," this French educational game consists of a circular board and red and blue lettered tokens to be placed in a specific configuration. The goal is to recreate the phrase " QUESTION OF THE DAY " in the correct order using strategic moves, without ever lifting the tokens, which requires thought and dexterity. The illustrated cover, typical of the Belle Époque, boasts of "children's enjoyment" and "parents' peace of mind." Publisher SGC Paris has created a game that is charming, educational, and visually appealing.
