Synopsis

BUSTED is a sculptural twist on the classic memory game. Instead of matching identical cards, players match the front and back of 26 portrait busts - creating 52 unique cards. The busts span a wide historical range,

from ancient Roman marbles to a young King Charles III, portrayed when he still was the Prince of Wales.

To support gameplay, each card has a background color that indicates its thematic group: Roman Marbles, Roman Bronzes, Royalty, or Religious Sculpture. Some busts form natural pairs, adding an extra layer of complexity.

BUSTED appeals to a broad audience - from art lovers and museum visitors to design enthusiasts and gift buyers - and works well for both casual play and cultural education.
