Just One is a cooperative party game. A stack of 13 cards stands between everyone playing and perfection. Each round clues will be given and a guess will be made in hopes of finding the magic word for the round. But in each case, whether you’re a clue giver or word guesser you get JUST ONE.
The tension in the game comes from each player’s imagination and trying not to get in synch with anyone else at the table. Can you use your powers of inference, using your knowledge of the word and the knowledge of the people at the table to figure out what path they might be on so you can avoid it and find one of your own? And by shifting the competition away from each other to a question of how well can we all do, it celebrates the joy of playing over the joy of winning. It’s not even funny how Major Fun that is. Listen in for a full review and discussion.

I was just describing this game over the phone to a friend who used to occasionally join me as a “Game Taster” at Bernie’s.
And everything about it sounded like Major Fun for sure.
Teach it in less than 5 minutes. Play it in 20…….
It’s the definition of Fun. Major Fun.
Oh yes! I agree wholeheartedly. I can just imagine how much Bernie would laugh while playing… so much fun.
