Natsumemo captures exactly that! The name means 'ummer memo,' and the game is a nostalgic journey through a holiday diary. Instead of just collecting points, you're trying to build memories and friendships. Each player gets a calendar and a secret sheet to record their adventures. Every round, someone proposes an event—like going to the beach or the cinema—and everyone simultaneously decides whether to join or not. But watch out: if you're already busy with something else on that day in your calendar, you can't participate! The real magic lies in the bond system: the more events you share with the same characters, the stronger the friendship and the higher your score. But don't think it's all play; there's the drama of homework! If you get too carried away with fun and forget to finish your school assignments, you'll end up losing points by the end of summer. It's that classic dilemma: enjoy life or secure your report card? The game is fast, light, and full of laughs—especially when you realize you were the only one who showed up to the event you suggested! It's a perfect choice for fans of 'flip-and-write' mechanics looking for something heartwarming that tests your short-term strategic planning. ## FAQ ### How long does a game last?
