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.

    Haven't tried Dobble XL. > delusion-motivated homeschool. 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. Here's a little more about it https://blog.comini.in/p/how-can-we-personalize-learning https://blog.comini.in/p/how-can-we-personalize-learning

      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.

There is Møbee, a new, similar game, that has a common symbol between any three cards. The mathematics of that deck is based on finite Möbius planes. [0] https://mobeecards.store/homepage/ https://mobeecards.store/homepage/
