A second and fourth partial image together form a second full image when the first and second gloves are arranged in a second position. The first and third images are on surfaces corresponding to backs of the gloves, while the second and fourth partial images are on surfaces corresponding to fronts of the gloves. The first and second full images may be used to play various games according to embodiments of the present disclosure.
