### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely buy!!
*by F***A on 24 December 2019*

Played this game before so knew what I was buying. Perfect condition, arrived next day. This game is great (and awful!) If you're competitive like me! Relationships have been tested when I was targeted from all angles!! Be mindful of face offs and cascades as they'll catch you out!!Got it!We use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyse our traffic.

See detailsHomeGamesAnomiaGame RulesMENUOverviewBasic Game RulesBuy AnomiaVideosLinksOther GamesAnomia Game RulesComponents92 unique playing cards (sharing 8 symbols)8 Wild Cards.Object of the GameTo win the most cards by facing-off with other players.The Draw PilesSit in a circle, take one (1) of the decks from the box and shuffle thoroughly (5 or 6 times), split into two piles, and place within easy reach of all players. These are the Draw Piles.Play BeginsThe shuffler takes the first turn. He or she draws a card from either pile and quickly flips it face-up in front of themselves for all to see.Notice that the card displays some text and a symbol. (If any Wild Cards are drawn in the next few steps, set them aside and draw again, we'll get to Wild Cards in #7).Play PilesOne at a time, players continue drawing cards from either pile, in clockwise order, until the symbols on two players' cards match. If you draw a card and there is no match, the next player draws.Note: You should only have one face-up card showing at a time. If it's your turn and you already have a card in play, flip the new card on top of your existing card. This pile of cards is your Play Pile.Face-offs & Winning PilesWhen the symbols on two players' cards match, they must Face-Off with one another. This is the heart of the game. A Face-Off consists of giving a correct example of the person, place, or thing on your opponent's card, before they can do the same for your card.The player who finishes blurting out a correct answer first wins the Face-Off. The winner takes the loser's top card and places it, face-down, in their separate Winning Pile. The winner's top card stays where it is.CascadesThe loser's Play Pile may now reveal a new top card. Watch out! A new Face-Off may now occur between the loser and any other player! Drawing must not continue until all possible Face-Offs have been played. Please note, play is structured so thatthere can be only one Face-Off at a time, though there may be many in quick succession. This is called a Cascade.After a Face-Off/CascadeDrawing continues with the next player in the clockwise drawing sequence. You may find it helpful to pass a small token around to indicate whose turn it is. A salt shaker or coin will do nicely.Wild CardsA Face-Off can also be caused by a Wild Card. If you draw a Wild Card, place it face-up between the Draw Piles.A Wild Card displays two different symbols. If those two symbols are in play (i.e. if they appear on the top of any two player's Play Piles) then those two players must Face-Off.After a Wild Card is drawnGoing forward, all players must now look out for Face-Offs caused by same-symbol matches OR by a Wild Card. Only one Wild Card can be in play at a time. It will remain in play until covered by a new Wild Card. If you draw a Wild Card, you get to draw again, but only after all possible Face-Offs have been played.End of the GameWhen the Draw Piles are depleted, the person with the most cards in their Winning Pile wins the round.You can play another round with the same deck, or use the other deck in the box to play with a whole new set of cards. Each deck is unique (except for the Wild Cards).Tie BreakersIf two players tie during a Face-Off, a third player will draw a card and flip it over for the two tied players. In this case, the two tied players are attempting to give an answer for the same card.The winner of the Tie-Breaker gets the loser's card from the initial Face-Off. The card(s) used for the Tie-Breaker get shuffled back into the Draw Piles. If the card drawn for a Tie- Breaker is a Wild Card, place it back into one of the Draw Piles and draw again.A few more important things..Card FlippingFlip your card quickly!Make sure that all players can see its face at the same time. You may not peek at your card, and you must keep your hands out of the way. Failure to do so will result in losing your turn. We suggest grasping the card from the far edge and quickly flipping it back toward yourself.Unnoticed Face-offIf there is a match on the table, but the matching players do not notice it, another player may prompt them to look more closely. Urgent murmuring usually does the trick. Poking can be helpful too. Remember, drawing cannot proceed until all possible Face-Offs have been played.RepeatsThe group may determine whether the 'no repeat' rule is in effect for a round. It's fun to play either way, but it's harder when you are not allowed to repeat answers that have already been used.If you opt for the 'no repeat' rule the following applies: Once an example is uttered, whether in play or in conversation, it may NOT be used to win a Face-Off during that round/sitting. The exception to this is when the same answer is appropriate for a different card.Example: Card = Type of Fruit -> Answer: Orange, Card = Color -> Answer: OrangeGiving AnswersA correct answer is usually common knowledge, can be real or fictional, current or historical, and is one that the group generally recognizes to be true.For example, if you are trying to name a musician; you could give an example of a famous musician (Michael Jackson), a local musician (your Aunt Sally), or a commonly known fictional musician (The Pied Piper).Any disagreements about the winner of a Face-Off, or the correctness of an answer, shall be decided by a group vote called by the loser. If necessary, you may use dictionaries, magazines, the internet, etc..., to help settle disputes.Three Player GamesFor three-player games we suggest remov- ing two symbols from the deck This will increase the number of Face-Offs relative to the number of players and the number of cards. For example, remove all cards (including Wild Cards) that display the ♦ and/or O symbols, and play with the remaining deck.

I first discovered this game in a local games cafe and had to buy it after I’d played it! Very straightforward but unique concept. Simple to play and both the teenagers and adults in our family enjoyed it. Definitely recommend!
