Just One Party Game (White Box) - Cooperative Word Guessing Fun for Friends and Family! Ages 8+, 3-7 Players, 20 Minute Playtime, Made by Repos Production

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.

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.

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.

This game was really fun when we played it with several different groups of friends and family. It gets everyone talking and everyone involved. Easy to play, so it’s fun for kids but you still need to think a bit which makes it a challenge for adults to come up with original words.

Really fun party game. The game is so re-playable and fun every time! Comes with everything that you need to play over and over

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.
