talking board
Séance communication device
A talking board is a flat board marked with letters, numbers, and words like "yes" and "no," used in séances or spiritualist practices.
Participants place their fingers on a pointer (planchette) that supposedly moves to spell out messages from spirits.
The Ouija board is the most famous commercial version.
We pulled out the talking board at the sleepover.
