Give the class a record to beat
“What is the record shown before a game starts?”
2 MIN READ
Once a class has finished a game, its best total becomes a standing record. Next time you open that game the lobby shows RECORD TO BEAT before a die is rolled, and the podium tells the class whether they beat it or how far short they came.
WORTH KNOWING
This is the thing that makes a particular game worth choosing again. Without it a shelf of twenty-seven titles gets played from the left every time.
WHAT IT WILL NOT DO
A record belongs to the CLASS, never to a child — the winner’s name is not stored. That is what lets it go on the board every game without singling anybody out, and what lets it outlive a child leaving the school.
