Help these students survive their 7th grade history class! By passing notes around the classroom, you can add some fun into their dreadfully dull day. The teacher is searching high and low for these mischievous notes, so don't get caught! In Paper Trail, students pass notes around the classroom from desk to desk while the teacher tries to find & confiscate these notes. Students also race each other to score the most points before class ends. A student-player wins by passing enough notes to end the game AND scoring the most points. The teacher wins by confiscating enough notes to end the game. -description from the designer
