JinxO*
* 
A fast-paced word-association game for 4 to 7 players aged 10 and up: everyone writes an answer to a prompt at the same time, hoping to match the others. Match exactly one other person and you score a JINX for bonus points; match no one and you score nothing. JinxO is a 2026 Spiel des Jahres nominee.
The fun lies in judging between the obvious answer, whose points you share with many, and the clever one that either jinxes or leaves you blank.
Nominated for 1 award.
