Description
Similo History is a cooperative guessing game with 30 cards of famous figures from history. There are 12 cards on the table, one of them is secret, and only one player knows which. Without words, using only other character cards, they have to lead the other players to it.
How to play Similo History
The player giving clues places a card from their hand next to the cards on the table. If they place it upright, it means the secret character is similar to that one. If they place it sideways, it means the cards similar to it should be eliminated. The similarity can be anything: era, profession, appearance or achievements.
The other players discuss and, over five rounds, eliminate one, two, three, four and finally one more card. If they eliminate the secret card by mistake, everyone loses. If the secret card is the last one left, everyone wins.
