More informationHeidelBÄR Games is launching a new game in the Similo series in collaboration with Horrible Guild.

Players receive clues from a clue giver, who plays cards from his hand as clues, stating whether they are similar or different to the secret character. The guessers gradually rule out a character until, hopefully, the right character is left at the end.
