Description

Alias is a classic party game that's all about teamwork and creative communication. Designed by Mikko Koivusalo, this 1990 game is simple to learn but challenging to master. Players are divided into teams, and each team member takes turns being the "explainer" who must describe a set of words to their teammates without actually saying the words. The goal is to get your team's figure to move around the board by successfully guessing the words. With a playtime of just 60 minutes, Alias is a great game for large groups of 4 to 12 players. The game requires a combination of acting, racing, and teamwork, making it a fun and engaging experience for everyone involved. While the rules are easy to learn, the game itself can be quite challenging, especially when it comes to describing tricky words or phrases. Overall, Alias is a great addition to any game night, and its simplicity and social interaction make it a great choice for parties and gatherings.
