Product Description
Similo: Animals is a cooperative deduction card game where players work together to identify one secret animal. One player gives silent clues using other animal cards, while the rest of the group discusses which cards to remove. Guess carefully — remove the secret animal too early and everyone loses.
Why you’ll love it
- Animal-themed family fun — features beautifully illustrated animal cards with a bright, friendly style.
- Quick 10-minute rounds — easy to play between bigger games, after dinner or as a fast travel-friendly challenge.
- Cooperative play — everyone works together to solve the same mystery.
- Silent clue-giving twist — the Clue Giver cannot talk, gesture or give extra hints, so every clue card matters.
- Great for curious kids and families — players compare animals by traits like habitat, size, diet, colour, fur, feathers or behaviour.
