About the game

What you do in a play session

Monikers: Shmonikers is the first expansion for the acclaimed Monikers, but don't be fooled, it can also be played as a standalone game! If you're already a fan of the base game, get ready for 112 fresh new names to add to your collection and keep the rounds always surprising. And it doesn't stop there: this box brings extra rules to extend the fun, allowing you to add more rounds to the game and prolong the laughter with your crew.

For those unfamiliar, Monikers is a hilarious party game where players try to get their teammates to guess names of people, places, or things. The fun part is that each round has a different restriction: in the first, you can describe the name freely; in the second, you can only use one word; and in the third, it's pure charades! Monikers: Shmonikers elevates this experience, offering more variety and the possibility of creating even longer and more memorable game sessions. It's perfect for livening up any gathering, whether with friends or family, and ensuring the fun never ends.
