Product Information

You cannot write only 1 letter as your answer to finish a word. Each word you write must be 2 or more letters long.

The aim is to try to match with at least one person among the other players. (Great minds think alike they say). This is such a fun, fun game where everyone secretly writes a word to complete a word cue card with the hopes of matching with just one other player to earn the most points. SETUP Tally the points and then erase your blank slates. Put the cue card into a discard pile and draw another one.Do your best to match the answer of exactly one other player to finish the Word Cues, and gain points: Blank Slate is a fun party game where you try your best to guess how your opponents will fill in the blank on the Word Cue cards that are drawn each turn. If you match someone’s word, each of you scores points! The first player to reach 25 points wins the game! The cues themselves were big in variety. Each cue sent you in a different direction from most of the others, so we didn’t end up repeating many words at all.

In the Answer phase, each player has to try and predict what answer only one other player would choose, and write down that word as well. Each player finds their matching colored space on the scoreboard and writes their name in that space with the dry-erase marker. Eventually, you’ll start repeating words, but you shouldn’t do it so often you find yourselves with the same experience over and over. An example of gameplay would be if in a 5 player game, the Selector (one of the players) chooses a card that has the word Speed with a blank line drawn after the word like this SPEED———–, player A can choose to write limit, B and C, lane and player D would write boat and player E breaker. All five words are valid options but only players B and C would earn three points each as they both wrote matching words. Players A, D and E earn no points for their words.

While the rules noteto keep your slate hidden, my group unapologetically says things like “Oh Anthony, I hope you’re thinking what I’m thinking,” (Winkwink) Hoping that some shared knowledge or connection with that person could trigger a match. Plenty of geek culture references are always thrown around, pandering to others at the table. With so many ways to say Hello, I’m surprised this one wasn’t already on the list of cues in the base game. Why We Love It: We love that each game is unique and that the cards are double-sided, so when you are finished playing all of one side, you can flip the box and play the other side! What You’ll Need to Play Blank Slate Blank Slate can easily be played virtually using any online meeting platform with cameras as long as one person owns the game. Players can use scraps of paper to write their answers on and hold them up for all to see once everyone has guessed! Is Blank Slate fun with only 3 players?
