Have you ever thought about the fact that our minds are positively brimming with all sorts of random information? Things to eat, pop songs, websites, etc... Normally, it's easy to give an example of a frozen food or a dog breed; but you'll find that your brain works a little differently under pressure!
Fast moving and hilarious, Anomia will have everyone roaring with laughter as they try to beat each other to the punch! Players flip cards until the symbols on two players' cards match. Matching players race to give an example of the category on their opponent's card. Sounds easy, right? Think again. Wild Cards create unexpected matches and the simple act of losing a card can set off a chain of cascading face-offs! Pay attention — it could be your turn at any time!
Gameplay Overview Anomia is one of the best-selling party games in the world for a reason — it takes something everyone thinks they can do easily (name an example of a category) and turns it into a hilarious scramble the moment pressure enters the picture. Players flip cards from a shuffled deck; when the symbols on two players' cards match, those two players race to shout an example of the category on their opponent's card. Whichever player blurts out a correct answer first wins the card. The twist: Wild Cards create unexpected matches between players whose symbols wouldn't normally align, and when someone loses a card mid-round, it can trigger a cascade of follow-on face-offs as newly revealed cards create fresh matches. The result is a game that's always on the edge of erupting — chaotic, funny, and genuinely unpredictable right up to the last card. With over 2 million copies sold, it's a proven crowd-pleaser for almost any group.
