Similo

Give clues with nothing but 'similar' or 'different' until your friends find the one right character.

Twelve characters lie face up on the table and one of them is the secret. As clue-giver you play cards from your hand and say only 'similar' or 'different' — no words allowed. The others have to eliminate the wrong ones until only the right character is left.

Who it's for

Any group that likes thinking out loud together, from families to game nights. Three or four is the sweet spot.

Not for you if…

You want a full evening's game — this is a ten-minute round, and with eight players most people just watch other people argue.

Vibe's take

Ten minutes of intense shared squinting at portraits, followed by loud arguments about whether a wizard is more like a witch or a knight.
