The best games with limited communication 🤐 2023
Looking for a game that isn't all about communicating 🤐? Then we have just the thing: The 30 best games with limited communication.
How can games restrict communication between players?
Games can restrict players from openly communicating with each other. These restrictions can be absolute, as they relate to specific information, or they can restrict specific types of communication, such as speaking, hearing, or seeing.
Examples of this mechanism include Hanabi (players are not allowed to talk), Codenames (players are only allowed to communicate using a word and a number), or the 2020 connoisseur game: The Crew (players can only communicate using a marker on a single card as well as by playing cards).
