Just One: New Version*
Just One: New Version is a cooperative party game for 3 to 7 players ages 8 and up. In about 20 minutes you all work together to help one player guess secret words, each giving just a single one-word clue.
What's it about?
Everyone plays together against the game. In turn, an active player tries to guess a mystery word that everyone else can see. Each teammate secretly writes one clue, a single word, on their easel.
How it plays
- Everyone but the guesser jots down one clue.
- You compare clues: identical words are cancelled, so be original.
- You show the remaining clues to the active player, who gets one guess.
The fun lies in the tension: too obvious and your clue gets wiped out, too clever and it helps no one.
What's new?
- 550 fresh terms across 110 cards
- Erasable easels and markers
- The same proven gameplay that won the original its 2019 Spiel des Jahres
Who it's for
Sociable groups, families, and game nights where everyone should get to join in.
Conclusion
A wonderfully simple, endlessly funny party game built on shared brainstorming. The new version mainly brings fresh word material, while the play stays the well-earned classic it always was.
