Who it's for

Party groups who enjoy mind-reading games like Wavelength and want a quick, paper-and-pencil twist on guessing what others think.

Not for you if…

You want a game with objectively right answers β€” success here depends entirely on reading one specific person's ranking.

🦊

Vibe's take

Playful mind-reading β€” every grid you build is a bet on how someone else thinks, and the reveal moment is where all the guessing pays off or falls apart.

About this game

Tic Tac Top puts one player in charge as the Leader, secretly ranking seven words from a themed list of twelve while everyone else tries to read their mind. You pick nine of those same words and arrange them into a tic-tac-toe grid, betting on which ones the Leader rated most relevant β€” line up three that match the Leader's top picks, and you score. Blank, erasable theme cards mean you can keep inventing new categories forever.
