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

  1. Everyone but the guesser jots down one clue.
  2. You compare clues: identical words are cancelled, so be original.
  3. 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.
