Commentary

May 20 moves across four very different visual worlds. Courtroom is the most concrete group, using gavel, scales, judge bench, and legal document to create a legal setting. Striped Things asks players to notice pattern instead of category: zebra, barcode, candy cane, and referee shirt are unrelated by use, but all read through stripes. Mythic Creatures shifts into imagination with dragon, unicorn, mermaid, and phoenix. Astronomy Tools is the insight group, connecting telescope, observatory dome, star chart, and meteor shower as ways people study, map, and recognize the night sky.
