Monikers*
Monikers is a lively and entertaining party game inspired by the classic public domain game Celebrities. It is designed for players who enjoy guessing games and offers a fun challenge through a series of rounds where the methods of clue-giving evolve and become more restrictive.
Gameplay Overview
- Guessing Well-Known People: Players take turns trying to get their teammates to guess names of famous people through descriptions or imitations.
- Evolving Rounds: The game consists of three rounds, each with different rules for clue-giving.
- First Round: Clue givers can use any words except the name itself.
- Second Round: Clue givers are limited to just one word.
- Final Round: Clue givers must rely solely on gestures and charades, with no spoken words allowed.
Conclusion
Monikers is an ideal game for parties and social gatherings, appealing to players who enjoy acting, guessing, and a progressively challenging gameplay. Its simple concept, combined with the escalating difficulty of each round, makes it a highly engaging and humorous game. It's perfect for groups looking for a fun, interactive experience that encourages creativity and laughter.
