About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine living the same day over and over—until you get it right. In Groundhog Day: The Game, you’re Phil Connors, the cynical weatherman stuck in a time loop, and your goal? Master the perfect day. But here’s the catch: you can’t talk. You’ve got to play cards showing iconic movie locations and characters in order, silently, while a sand timer runs out. Each round, you collect new skills—like playing piano or being charming—to upgrade your chances. It’s cooperative, so you all win together… or lose together. Fast, chaotic, and packed with laughs, especially when someone tries to signal 'dog in the street' and ends up miming a burger. Perfect for light, social games with a fun theme and zero need for experience. At just 20 minutes, it slots perfectly between beers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
How many players?
2 to 6 players. Best with 4+ — chaos is funnier with more people.
How long does it take?
15–25 minutes. Perfect for a quick game between beers or before dinner.
Is it hard to learn?
Nope. Rules fit on a postcard. The real challenge? Playing without talking — and that’s harder than it sounds.
Do I need to have seen the movie?
Not required, but it helps! Cards are full of references — but you’ll still laugh even if you’ve never watched it.
Is there language dependency?
Yes. Cards have English text, so non-English speakers need translated cards or a reference sheet.
Is it good for kids?
From age 10+, if they’ve played co-op games. Younger kids might find silence tricky — but they’ll love the sand timer.
Are there expansions?
Not yet. But it’s so fun and replayable you won’t miss them.
