What is Concept about?

“Concept ” is a party game designed for 4 or more players, ages 10 and up, with a typical playtime of around 40 minutes. It’s a guessing game where teams use a shared board filled with symbols and colors to communicate ideas without speaking. The goal is to have one team member silently guide guessers to identify a concept using only visual cues like colors, shapes, and symbols.

Gameplay and Mechanics

  • Players flip a card with a word or phrase, which can range from easy to extremely difficult.
  • Teams use the game board to convey their concept, starting with a key idea and adding clues by placing markers on the board.
  • Concepts are built up visually—e.g., marking an animal, adding details like slow, large, gray (to suggest “elephant”).
  • Subconcepts can be introduced for more complex ideas.
  • The guessing team tries to interpret the clues to guess the word or phrase.

Why It’s Fun

  • The game challenges players to think creatively and abstractly, using symbols to communicate complex ideas.
  • It’s a unique blend of strategic thinking and deduction.
  • It’s highly interactive, making it enjoyable in group settings, especially for creative and puzzle-loving players.

Who Will Enjoy It

  • Creative thinkers and fans of puzzle-like games will enjoy the challenge.
  • Players who enjoy games like Pictionary but want something more abstract will find this game engaging.
  • People who like party games with a bit more “thinking” involved will appreciate the depth of “Concept Z.”
