RULES:
The object of the game is to be the first player to correctly guess your opponent’s character 5 times. Unlock the latches and separate the boards and give one to each player. Agree to a character set to use and open the frame and slide it in, both players must use the same set. Tilt your frame forward until all the doors are open, then fold it open and back to prop it up in front of you. Pick a character and slide the marker over it. Players should not be able to see their opponent’s characters.

The youngest player goes first, then turns alternate. On your turn, ask a yes or no question about the other player’s picked character. The other player must then answer truthfully with a yes or no. You then close doors for any characters that do not match the other player’s answer. Then your turn ends and your opponent goes.

When you think you know who the other player’s character is, make a guess instead of asking a question. If you guessed correct, then you win and slide your score marker up 1, if not your turn ends and the game continues. Keep playing until one player wins 5 rounds, then they are the winner.

Choosing your character seems weird, i feel like dealing from a deck of cards you'd have more variety of games

Thank you for this video! Finally someone explaining the game with the modern version of the boards!

Why do the doors on this version face towards the other player? Odd design choice, since it's been the opposite way for most of Guess Who's lifetime.

Fair update/QOL of the slider onto who was picked, slide in of board layers or score slider compared to 2000s design knew of. Points then guessing person huh. Weird.

@triplesgames Game Idea Chase the Ace how to play a 2 to 5 player card game use a standard 52 card deck without jokers and make someone the dealer the dealer takes out 3 of the aces leaving 1 and then shuffles then passes out the cards out to every player then once everyone is ready find pairs and put them face up on the table once everyone has got rid of their pairs the player left of the dealer goes first so on your turn make sure you don't have the ace and if you do trick other players into getting the ace let the player left of you take 1 card out of your hand then the player left of you lets the player left of them takes a card then once the player right of you, you take a card then if have a pair from the card you toke put the pair on the table face up once your of cards you win but it isn't over it ends when someone loses the player with the ace last loses.
