Players must “knit” pics to other pics in a way that their opponents agree is a good match. Three different game modes gives customers three fun games for the price of one.
NITPICK MODE is an easy Apples-to-Apples-like gameplay where players submit cards to the judge who picks the best match. Play your picture card most associated with the Nit Picker’s (judge) card. The Nitpicker picks their favorite and that player wins the round!
NITPIC MODE lets any player quickly play one of their 10 pics to the previous pic before their opponents do, building a collaborative “daisy chain” of photos without getting challenged by their opponents who yell, “NITPIC! That’s not a legit knit to the pic!” But if the challenger loses the challenge, they lose points.
KNITPIC MODE features a more relaxed gameplay where players build out a grid of matching pics in the style of dominoes. This mode is a similar vibe to building puzzles and can be played competitively or collaboratively. It’s a Sunday afternoon with the game on the TV vibe, and a cozy fire in the fireplace.
