About the game

What you do in a play session

SiXeS is a super fun party game that challenges you to think outside the box while also trying to guess what others are thinking. The core idea is to explore the similarities and differences between things, all in a fast-paced and engaging game format. Perfect for a night with friends, it gets you to think of six items per round, aiming to predict whether your answers will match or not match those of other players.

It works like this: in each of the six rounds, you'll have to list six things based on a theme or category. The twist is that some rounds are 'match' rounds (you want your answers to be the same as others') and others are 'unique' rounds (you want your answers to be different). Scoring depends on how well you can read your friends' minds or be the most original. Whoever has the most points after six rounds wins.

SiXeS is the sixth title in the E•G•G series from Eagle-Gryphon Games, which already guarantees a certain level of production and design quality. It's a game that demands a lot of interaction and a good dose of creativity, plus a bit of luck when predicting others' answers. If you enjoy word games, trivia, and mental puzzles, SiXeS is a great choice to liven up any gathering.
