Similo: Fantastic Beasts – Find the Secret Card 🪄🧠

Is it Pickett, a Murtlap or Percival Graves? Similo: Fantastic Beasts from Horrible Guild, by Hjalmar Hach, Pierluca Zizzi and Martino Chiacchiera, is a cooperative deduction game for 2 or more players aged 7+, playing in about 10 minutes.

One player is the Clue Giver, and everyone else plays as the Guessers. The Clue Giver lays out 12 cards in a 4 × 3 grid and secretly picks one of them – the Secret Card. Then they draw five cards as their hand of clues. Over five rounds, the Clue Giver plays one clue per round, without saying a word or making a gesture. A card played vertically is a Keep Clue: it has something in common with the cards the Guessers should keep. A card played horizontally is a Remove Clue: it resembles the cards they should remove. Magical creatures, wizards, wands, colours or a tiny size – any connection the Clue Giver can imagine will do. The Guessers discuss each clue and remove a set number of cards. If they remove the Secret Card, you all lose immediately; if it is the last card left after round five, you all win. The 39 big cards show characters and creatures from the Fantastic Beasts films, illustrated by Naïade, and the deck can be combined with other Similo decks.
