Similo: Fables
Similo: Fables is a co-op deduction card game from Horrible Guild, designed by Martino Chiacchiera, Hjalmar Hach and Pierluca Zizzi, and this deck is full of fairy-tale characters. Twelve beautifully illustrated character cards sit on the table, and one of them is secretly the target. The clue-giver plays character cards from their hand, face up for "similar" or sideways for "different", and the rest of the team has to remove characters one round at a time until only the right one is left. Every Similo deck has 30 cards with its own theme, and you can mix two decks for a trickier game.
- Players 2–8

About the game
Similar or different? Gobgob said "similar". Gobgob was very wrong.
Gobgob's favourite bit: You can't say a word, only play cards. Watching your team knock out the one character you were desperately trying to protect is pure, silent agony.
