Product Information

Starting with the player to the left of the current Selector, each player shows their answer one by one by placing their slate in the play area for all to see.

Aunt Name Generator helps you get the perfect aunt’s name for your book, game, or story in seconds! 👩 Your goal is to write something in the blank space that completes a full word or phrase. Scoring is almost as easy. Once everyone has revealed their answer, look around the table. Any player whose answer exactly matches that of one other player receives 3 points. Any player whose answer has two or more matches receives 1 point. Finally, any player whose answer has zero matches receives 0 points. The two players who wrote “dinner” would each receive 3 points, the players who wrote “eve” would each receive 1 point, and the players who wrote “day” and “presents” would receive 0 points. Players score points based on how many other players they match with. If two or more players have the exact same answer, they each score three points. If only one other player has the same answer, they each score two points. If no one else has the same answer, they score one point. 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. Not every game translates well between kids and adults, but this one is quite versatile. The cues may be bit tough with some age groups, but most of them are fine.

Object of the Game

I think we’ll get a lot of plays out of Blank Slate, since there are 250 double sided cue cards (total of 500 cues). The componentsare great. Iapplaud The OP for using dry erase boards and markers inlieuof strips of paper. Who is Blank Slate for?

The rules are simple and intuitive, making Blank Slate a solid party game for a wide audience. The core challenge is fun, and it’s interesting to try to come up with a word only one other player will have thought of. This goal of trying to match with only one person often leads to second guessing yourself, and the moment of reveal is enjoyable. With so many ways to say Hello, I’m surprised this one wasn’t already on the list of cues in the base game.

That’s and This aren’t too different, but a whole list of different phrases comes to mind when doing this one.
