About the game
What you do in a play session
Each round, a player offers a gift (a card with an object) to another, declaring what it is. The recipient can either accept the gift or pass it on, but the trick is that if they pass it, they must declare what the gift they are passing is! And that's where the magic (or chaos) happens. If you can't remember what's in your hand, it's time to improvise and hope no one catches you. But beware, if someone suspects and you're caught bluffing, a penalty point awaits. The goal is to be the player with the fewest penalty points at the end, proving that your memory (or your ability to deceive) is the best at the table. With easy-to-learn rules and a quick playtime, “That’s Not a Hat” is the perfect choice to liven up any gathering, guaranteeing lots of laughs and unforgettable moments (or ones you’ll try to forget, if the bluff doesn’t work out!).
