Play Online Just One
Just One is a cooperative party game for 3 to 7 players. It comes with 110 cards, dry erase markers, and small easels. Each card shows five terms. The team tries to guess as many secret terms as possible during a short session. A game uses a stack of 13 cards and tracks a simple score.
On a turn, one player acts as the guesser and draws the top card. They announce a number from one to five, which sets the hidden target on that card. The other players each write one clue word on their easel. No talking or gestures. Everyone then compares boards and removes any duplicates. Players also remove tweaks like plurals or words from the same family. The guesser sees the remaining unique clues and makes one guess. A correct answer earns one point. A pass costs only the current card. A wrong answer also discards the next card from the deck, which lowers the final score.
Smart clue writing drives the game. The best hint helps the guesser yet avoids common choices that others might pick. For the target pyramid, one player might choose Giza, another might write tomb, and a third might use triangle. If two people choose Egypt, those clues vanish and the round gets harder. The rules forbid words from the same family as the target, special characters, and made-up spellings, so players aim for clean cues. Rounds move fast, and the mix of risk and clarity shapes a sharp, social challenge.
