Fans of The Mind or The Crew who want another lean, silent-communication co-op with real long-term progression.
Not for you if…
You need lots of table talk and banter, because Take Time thrives on silence and careful, wordless reading of others.

cerebral, tense, minimalist, cooperative, deeply satisfying

About this game
Take Time hands your group a clock face and twelve cards, then asks you to place them all facedown in the right order without really being able to talk about it. Each of the 40 Tests adds its own twist to the placement rules, so what worked last round might get you nowhere this time. You win or lose together, every single time, which makes that one perfectly-timed, wordless nod when someone reads your intention exactly right feel enormous. It's compact, endlessly replayable across its campaign of tests, and quietly one of the smartest communication-limited co-ops in ages.
