Description

Make people guess hundreds of objects, characters, and titles by combining universal icons. What icons would you use to signify brainwashing, tea, the Great Sphinx of Giza, 'blind as a bat,' or Beyoncé? How many ways can you interpret a red-roofed house, a Cartesian plane, a blue-irised eye, or a computer motherboard? There are no wrong ways to use the icons, pawns, and cubes of Concept, no time limits, a simple point system, a few essential rules. Instead, you’re encouraged to play around with Concept, be inventive and, above all, make meaning in unique and original ways.

You draw a card, which gives nine words or phrases for you to pick from. The suggestions are divided into “easy,” “hard,” and “challenging,” and if your group wants, you can give players additional points for guessing more difficult ideas. Start by placing the main concept pawn on an icon that indicates the core of what the concept is.
