Description

Similo is a cooperative deduction game where players work together to identify a secret character from a set of face-up cards. One player acts as the clue giver, and their goal is to help the other players (the guessers) find the hidden card.

The clue giver can't speak or use gestures; instead, they play other character cards from their hand as clues, indicating whether these cards are similar to or different from the secret character. The guessers then use this information to narrow down the possibilities, discarding cards they believe are not the secret character. The catch is that the degree of similarity is up for interpretation, leading to interesting discussions and challenging the group to think creatively to win the game.
