About the game

What you do in a play session

WINK turns subtle winks into high-stakes strategy! Get ready for a game full of suspense and laughter, where every glance could be a crucial clue. The game starts with numbered cards on the table and others dealt to players. Your mission? Figure out who has the card you marked—but you can only communicate through discreet winks. Guess right, and you and your 'accomplice' score points. Guess wrong, and the card flips over, keeping the mystery alive. Plus, watch other players closely: if you catch someone winking, you can call them out and steal their points! With quick rounds and loads of interaction, WINK is perfect for groups who love lighthearted games with a dash of cunning. Can you keep a straight face?
