About the game

What you do in a play session

If you enjoy deduction games that get your brain working, Erazer is the perfect choice for your next game night. The premise is simple, but the chaos is guaranteed: each player starts with a secret word, and the goal is to help others guess yours while you try to figure out theirs. The fun part here is using erasable boards where you write clues. The twist is that you write one clue for every player at the table, and as the board passes from hand to hand, players must guess the word and, more importantly, erase one of the existing clues. That’s where the strategy kicks in: will you erase a clue that helps your friend, or will you sabotage others so they don't guess their secret word? The game flows dynamically since everyone is always doing something. You need to balance the help you offer with the craftiness of hiding crucial info from opponents. It’s a perfect party game for groups of 3 to 6 who love constant interaction and that 'did I erase the right clue?' vibe. With a quick 30-minute playtime, you’ll want to play it multiple times in a row, trying to crack your friends' logic and laughing at failed guessing attempts. The 'Paper-and-Pencil' mechanic with erasable boards makes everything practical and clean. If you like games like Codenames or similar guessing titles, Erazer adds an extra layer of social interaction and sabotage that makes the experience much spicier. Get ready for tense moments when choosing which clue to erase and lots of laughs when someone interprets everything wrong. It’s a light, clever title that should be in the bag of anyone who loves gathering friends for a quick and fun challenge.
