Objective

Similo is a cooperative game that all players win by identifying (NOT selecting) the secret character.

Setup

One player is the clue giver and other players are guessers. The clue giver draws a hand of 5 cards.

A 3x4 grid of cards is dealt out, with one card being highlighted (to the clue giver only!) as the secret character (indicated by an explanation point).

Gameplay

The game consists of 5 rounds. At the start of each round, the clue giver plays a card from their hand either vertically (to convey that the secret card has "something similar" to the secret character) or horizontally ("something different"). Then they draw 1 card.

The guessers discuss and decide which cards are not the secret character. They then remove a number of cards (1 first round, 2 second round, 3 third round, 4 fourth round, 1 last round).

If the removed characters are not the secret character, the next round starts. Otherwise, the game ends.

End of the Game

• If the guessers remove the secret character at any point during the game, all players lose.
• If the last character remaining is the secret character, all players win.
