One Round?

About the game

What is One Round??

What do the terms "work" and "banana" have in common? Perhaps the word "farmer"? What about "harvest"? And where does "fruit" fit in? In the co-operative party game One Round?, you need to close the gaps in the word circle — quickly! — in order to win. The game is played with one hundred numbered cards on which you can write. Initially, three starting cards with the numbers 33, 66 and 100/0 are laid out in a circle, and each is labeled with a freely chosen starting word. Twelve of the remaining cards are placed face down in the middle of the table; these must be placed in the correct place in the circle over the course of the game. On your turn, secretly look at the number on the top card, then think of a word that indicates the card's position among the cards on display. This requires quick creativity because you have only a short amount of time before the other players have to agree on a gap in the circle of words based on the tip. The more cards are laid down, the closer the distances between the numbers become and the more difficult it is to classify new cards correctly. If the team places the last card correctly before it loses its three life markers, everyone wins. One Round? includes a team variant so that players can compete against one another in groups, in addition to 28 entertaining challenges and word categories.
