About the game

What you do in a play session

Over/Under is a party game that challenges your knowledge and estimation skills. With 200 cards filled with quirky questions like 'How many bricks are in the Empire State Building?' or 'How far away is Pluto?', players must guess whether the number given by their peers is over, under, or exactly right. The active player reads the question, and the others try to agree on an answer. If the reader correctly guesses whether the number is over or under, they keep the card and pass the deck to the next player. But if they guess the exact number, they continue reading the next questions. When the cards run out, the player with the most cards wins! It's a great option for large groups and casual moments, where the focus is on having fun and not taking things too seriously.
