Concept - A Family Review

Love everything about Charades except the acting? How about Pictonary but have no desire to draw? Well you should be playing Concept, of course! This “communicate without talking” game is a blast!

11yo: “It was fun trying to figure out the symbols. It’s like Charades and I love Charades.”

We’ve owned Concept for years and love busting it out as a light, end of night game. By using the symbolic pictures on the board paired with adorable cubes, it’s a great way to get our more introverted (or hobby board game hesitant) friends into a party game. And, what do you know, this game is also great for the whole family!

It’s an incredibly easy game to learn, and we hazard that you could figure it out without reading the instructions at all! We also never play it competitively (although you totally can if that’s your jam)—we’re just excited when we guess what word or phrase is being communicated. That “AHA!” moment is a win for the whole table.

9yo: “It was really fun trying to guess as well as getting others to guess your word.”

Another part we love? There are several options on each card for clue givers to choose from. This means there’s usually at least one word, phrase, or pop culture reference that the table will be able to guess. There are definitely things your kids will know, but you could always make your own cards as well to give different options for your kids.

If we could recommend a single party game for the widest variety of players, Concept is in our top three.

Helpful Hints

  • Let the kids make more Concept cards with words they want or pictures so non-readers can play!
  • If you aren’t counting points, give candy to the winners of each round instead of points.

 

Description

A large, green animal from long ago? Must be a dinosaur. Water, cube and cold weather? Has to be an ice cube. A man with a job who rides large brown animals in the United States? Is that a cowboy? In Concept, players team up to place tokens on a board covered in icons, depicting everything from ancient samurai and snails to Leonardo DiCaprio. Points go to the player who can guess the correctly by looking at the various symbols, but in this wild party game, the points are less important than just having a great time!

Game Details

The game offers 990 concepts divided into three difficulty levels across 110 cards.

After having chosen one of the nine concepts on their card for the other players to guess, the player will use pawns and cubes to put the others on the right track. To do that, they'll place them near the icons which best represent what they're trying to make the others guess. The board offers about a hundred very intuitive icons and can help players guess things as simple as a cow, or as complex as an expression like "moving mountains."

For example, to make others guess "Bee", the player will be able to put the main pawn on the "Animal" icon, then cubes on the "Yellow", "Black", "Small", and "Flying" icons.

A point system is in place to reward those who get their words guessed and those who find them, but as specified in the rules, the fun of the game often takes over the simple keeping track of score. That's why players often would rather face the challenge to communicate without talking, rather than determining a winner.
