You just lost The Game.
😬 So sorry. I really am. Truly. I can only imagine the impressive streak you were on before reading those cursed words. But alas—once you know The Game, you're always playing… and thinking about it means you lose. Sorry, not sorry? 😆
This cheeky cross-stitch pattern is a playful tribute to the internet's most persistent brain trap. Featuring retro-inspired rainbow stripes and a pixel-style broken heart, this design is perfect for fans of nostalgia, mischief, or just low-key psychological warfare via needle and thread.
Designed to look sweet and innocent at first glance, this pattern delivers the ultimate "gotcha" moment — especially for anyone who knows The Game.
Includes full colour chart and key, and is ideal for beginners and beyond.
