RULES:

The object of the game is to be the first player to correctly guess your opponent’s identity before they guess you. Sit across from one other and raise the characters on your tray. Shuffle the identity cards and deal 1 to each player. Place the identity card in your card holder.

Alternating turns ask the other player 1 yes or no question about their character’s identity. They must answer truthfully yes or no. As you take turns and rule out possibilities, knock down the characters you rule out based on questions like “is your character a man?”. If they respond “yes” you know they aren’t a woman and can knock down all the women characters.

You may ask at any time if they are a specific person. If you are wrong, it is there turn. If you are right, you win. Keep track of wins and play the best of 5.

Take 2 cards each makes it much more fun for older kids. We call it Guess Who Couples. We tried 3 cards (Guess Who Families) but too difficult!

Thank you for this video. I was thinking about buying Guess Who's mini version, but I had no idea how to play. I actually understood from some commericals, but I still didn't wanted to play it with just one information. Example, I was unaware of cards. Thanks again.

First time I learned about that game was from the Utica Cartoon. No idea thus game truly exist and I thought it was made up from the cartoon itself.

The rules read that if you guess the wrong person you immediately lose the game.

Me and Alex love to play/compete against each other. We are asking each other a yes/no question. For Example Is your mystery character a female? If they say si/yes, you will know it's not a boy/dude and knock out all of the boy characters. If we guess correctly we win. If they say si/yes, you win and is the crowned champion/winner.

What if both players pick the same person?

[anikaquinto]

For someone said is your card is a man you have to take down the man’s ?

[EatMeatStayHealthy]

Question : Is your character a man?

2024: Well it depends….

This game is now obsolete
