About the game

What you do in a play session

Yogi is a party game that turns the room into an impromptu yoga studio. Each round starts with a deck of colored cards. When a player flips a card, a red one tells them to place or hold the card on a specific body part – maybe on the forehead, elbow, or even between the knees. A green card stays on the table but forces a physical task, such as keeping a thumb on the chin, clapping, or touching the nose with fingertips. The goal is to be the most flexible and creative, completing the instructions before anyone else. Because players who can’t keep up are eliminated, a "take that" vibe emerges, with plenty of laughs at awkward poses and falls. A typical game lasts 15‑20 minutes, perfect for breaks or casual gatherings, and supports 3‑12 players, making it great for parties, family get‑togethers, or PE classes. Team‑based play lets groups form temporary alliances, yet the rapid elimination keeps tension high. While the rules are simple, the game does require a bit of flexibility and willingness to move, so those with limited mobility might find the pace challenging. Overall, Yogi offers physical fun, guaranteed giggles, and a light competitive edge, all packed in a sturdy metal tin that fits the zen‑casual theme.
