The Number Party Game - Fast-Paced Number Strategy Game, Fun Family Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 8+, 3-5 Players, 15 Minute Playtime, Made by Repos Production

We purchased this game before the holidays and it has quickly become one of our favorite party games! It has a similar vibe to Blank Slate, which we also own, but I much prefer this one. Rather than trying to match one other person, and only one other person, you want your answer to be unique. However, you also don't want it so unique as to throw off the person guessing the answer. This leads to a lot of "ah ha!" moments when everyone has creative clues, as well as "oh man!" when two or more clues match up and are eliminated and the guesser is left trying to get "Sunrise" when their only clue is "Rooster".The Good: The component quality of this game is fine. The cards are pretty standard for this type of game - not super heavy duty, but not really necessary for a game where you pull from a box. Each player (up to the included number) get their own dry erase easel and marker. Each marker is a different color & has an attached eraser which is pretty cool. Everything fits easily back in the box with very little wasted space. The game takes no time to setup, is super easy to teach, and is always a good time.The Bad: Some people have had issues with a marker or two being dead on arrival. We did not have that problem, but you can easily replace them with any dry erase markers of equal size if you want them to fit in the box.The Indifferent: The goal of the game is to get enough correct answers, as a team, to beat scores listed in the instructions. You can play by the rules with scoring, or simply go around and around for the fun & laughs of it. There isn't any strategy beyond the clue selection since you have no control over what everyone else around the table will do. For me, this game is all about the laughs, and we often throw scoring out the window.

Many games suffer from a challenge of either being too complicated for guests / family of varying ages and "game interest" or being too lame to hold the attention of serious gamers. Or they need a specified number of players but not too many. If you want to keep a game on hand that you can pull out for just about any occasion or age range, Just One is, well, just that one game!I first played Just One at an outdoor gathering around a bonfire with a large crowd of mostly "mature" adults - it was a hoot. I've played it since in groups ranging from 4 to 10 people, with ages ranging from preteen to retirees, it has really held the interest of all.4 is about the smallest group that can reasonably play. There is one "guesser" each round and the rest of the group writes down a single word (just one word, get it?) to hopefully convey the Guess Word. And of course the Guesser has "just one" guess. The catch is that if you write the same word as someone else, you both erase your word. So you want to be obvious, but not too obvious that others would write down the same thing. One of the most enjoyable elements of the game is seeing the word associations others come up with. And seeing the guesser connect the dots.For example, say the Guess Word is "fire" and you're playing with 5 people. Two players write "smoke" and cancel each other out. The remaining players have "hot" and "employee". MAYBE the guesser will guess "fire" but they might guess "boss" or something on a completely different train of thought. All said, this is a fun game to have on hand, especially for groups larger than 4.

Love this game. Already own a copy and often have more interest in the game than the game can seat. This was on sale for a very cheap price, so I decided to get another copy so that we would have more easels to accommodate more players. This is a great end of the night game, one my game group often plays when we are looking for a lighter game that can play quickly. This arrived quickly. Definitely worth it.

Have played one set of this and all five players really enjoyed it. Fairly simple, and we ended with nine successful answers (maximum of 13, but guessing wrong removes a second card).Guesser picks a card, then without looking at the card, selects a line number. That has a single word. Each other player has a white board and writes a single word on it, without checking with others. With the guesser hiding his eyes, the clue givers check their answers. Any duplicates are erased or hidden, then the guesser sees the various clues. If they guess right, the card is a success. Guess wrong, lose that card and a second, or they can skip guessing.One word we did: bowling. One clue of strike, three of us put "Alley". So our guesser only had strike to go on. As I said, most of the time we succeeded but it is a challenge to put as obvious a word that you don't think anyone else will use!Very fun and all five of us are ready to try again! We played with 17+ age people, but the game is recommended for 8+ and I'd think 8 year old and above could handle and enjoy the game. (That's the manufacturer's recommended age.)

I'm a pretty avid gamer. Love hosting a game night. And this is a great game for a party night of 5+ people. For game newbs, this is a great warmup game because you can learn it in 2 minutes. And if you have more than 7 people, no problem. Use a drawing app on your phone to write your answer!This game is better/easier/funnier with more players. 3 people and you could basically have no clues. Same with 4-5. 6 or more and there's less chance of overlaps eliminating all clues. Although... Played once with 7. The word was Powder. Of the 6 clues, five of us wrote "cocaine." The guesser only had "baby" as a clue. Ha. Hilarious.

For a family that loves game nights this game was fun. Easy to learn. Kids are nine and 10 and caught on quickly. We purchased many board games and we’re happy to add this to our collection. Can get creative change up the rules a bit to make different variations on how to get points.
