About the game
Compatibility: 15th Anniversary Edition is the supercharged version of a classic party game, now supporting up to 8 players to ensure no one misses out on the fun! The premise is simple, but the challenge is to connect minds: participants are divided into pairs, and each player receives an identical deck of cards with various images.

Each round, a keyword is revealed. From there, the magic happens: each player, in secret, selects 2 to 5 image cards from their deck that, in their opinion, best represent or associate with the keyword. The big trick is trying to guess what your teammate will choose!

After everyone makes their choices simultaneously, the cards are revealed. Teams score points if both players choose the same images. But the icing on the cake comes with extra points: if the pair manages to order the chosen images in the same sequence of importance (from most to least important), the score skyrockets! A board is used to keep track of the score and indicate how many cards can be selected in each round. The first team to cross the finish line on the board wins, proving who has the greatest mental synergy at the table. It's a light, fun game perfect for testing how well you really know your friends (or how good you are at thinking like them!).
