ito is a cooperative game where you and your friends will each get your own secret number you then have to try to put in order as a group based on the clues you give related to the chosen theme.
At the start of the game, each player gets a secret number card that can have a value between 1 and 100. Remember, it’s a SECRET, so of course the other players can’t tell you directly what number they have, and neither can you!
The trick is for everyone to understand their intentions just by hearing theme-based clues. Do you and your friends see eye to eye in how you view the world? Have fun finding out in this exciting party game!
- Each player chooses a color and takes the three Player Cards of that color. The rest are returned to the box.
- Shuffle the Category Cards to create a deck.
- Shuffle the Number Cards to create a deck.
- Place the Zero Card in the middle of the table leaving space for players to lay their Number Cards in the Playing Space.
- Deal a Number Card to each player. Players may look at their own card, but should not reveal their card to any other players.
- Draw the top card of the Category Deck and as a group choose which of the categories (front or back of the card) to play this round.
You may not include numbers, values or quantities in your hint — and, of course, you can’t show your card or reveal its value!
The objective is for all players to arrange the cards in a row starting from the Zero card, in numerical order lowest to highest. Closer to the Zero card means a lower number. When you play a card in the row, place one of your Player Cards face up under the Number Card to mark it as yours.
Discuss as a group where each card belongs in the thread, changing the order of a card if needed. When everyone has agreed on the order of the cards, the resolution phase begins. Starting from 0, reveal each card one by one. If all the cards are in correct numerical order, lowest to highest, you win!
