Description

In Give Me Five, you and your teammates are in for a thrilling challenge that will put your word-guessing skills to the test. With a simple yet exciting gameplay mechanic, this card game is perfect for a large group of friends, supporting 4 to 9 players. Each round is a whirlwind of activity, lasting only 15 minutes, but packing in plenty of fun and suspense. The game starts with the reveal of a theme card and a letter card, and from there, it's a race against time to come up with a word that fits the theme and starts with the given letter. As soon as a player thinks they have the word, they tap the card and give a clue to their teammates, who then have to guess the word in unison within a countdown of just five seconds. If they succeed, they claim the card, but if not, other teams get a chance to steal the card with their own guess. Designed by Jacques Bariot and Dominique Della Scaffa, and first published in 2013, Give Me Five is a word game that combines social interaction, quick thinking, and a dash of luck, making it an entertaining addition to any game night. With its easy-to-learn rules, Give Me Five is accessible to everyone, allowing you to focus on the fun and excitement of the game.
