A few years ago (5-ish), I played a board game with some friends. I really liked this board game, but I’ve never been able to remember the name of it. As far as I remember, the game had large, intricate pictures, and each picture was divided up into quarters. Each team/player had a certain amount of time to find as many of the designated item in their quarter as they could. I don’t remember how we chose the item to search for – maybe there are other, small cards? I think the game had a play on words in its title, like “Visualeyes” (but that’s not the game – I’ve looked that up and it’s a different game). Does anyone remember a game like this, and if so, _what the heck is it called?_ It’s driving me nuts! I was really good at it and I want to put it on my Christmas list. Thanks! ---

I have a game called “Visionary” but I don’t think that’s it. ---

The game is called Scrutineyes, released in 1992. It may be very hard to find nowadays, but check Ebay, thrift stores, etc. There was a recent German game released that had similar gameplay except each time, the whole picture is used. I played this not too long ago, but the name escapes me. If I come up with it, I’ll let you know. ---

The German game name just popped in my head, but it won’t be so easy to find I think. It is called Kaleidos and can be seen at [www.boardgamegeek.com](http://www.boardgamegeek.com). ---
