Redesigned for 2017. Anomia now has serious shelf esteem – bold, vibrant box that communicates the game play.
Coiled Spring Games published Anomia and released it at UK Games Expo in 2014. It proved so popular it went on to be voted the winner of Best Party Game in the awards.
Anomia is super simple to understand and to explain. Each card is printed with a symbol and a category. Players turn over cards one at a time and if their symbol matches another card in play they have to name something in the category on their opponents card before their opponent can name something on theirs. Sound simple?
Normally, it's easy to give an example of a dog breed or a frozen food - but you’ll find that your brain works differently under pressure. Flip cards until symbols on two players’ cards match. Matching players must race to give an example of the category on their opponent’s card. Whoever blurts out a correct answer first wins their opponent’s card, and drawing continues. Sounds easy, right? Think again!
Why we love it
•It really is a brilliant party game that will have you shouting and shrieking with laughter
•There are two decks so you can swap them or mix them to prevent repeats if you're playing all night
•It's a really good icebreaker as it still works with more than 6 people
