Just One is a cooperative party game in which you play together to discover as many mystery words as possible. Find the best clue to help your teammate. Be unique, as all identical clues will be cancelled!
A complete game is played over 13 cards. The goal is to get a score as close to 13 as possible. In case of a right answer, the players score 1 point. In case of wrong answer, they lose the current card as well as the top card of the deck. Thus losing 2 points. In case of lack of answer, the players only lose the current card, and therefore only 1 point.
You have the choice – make the difference!
Small Historical Point:
Originally, Just One was called We Are The Word and was published by Fun Consortium.
Repos Production bought the rights in early 2018 and adapted the game. The Sombrero-wearing Belgians decided to improve the quality of the components, add 50 new words, and change the name of the game. Following this new edition, the game went from having only a French edition to having a world-wide edition.

Good party game. Very simple and encourages out of the box thinking. Unusual to have a party game be cooperative like this.

Excellent cooperative party game. Players are encouraged to think outside the box to avoid duplicated clues, but generic enough to help the active player guess the word.

The perfect party game. So easy to explain, anyone can jump in at any time, it's a co-op and requires getting into your friends' heads, but then it has the competitive edge of trying to be helpful without stepping on each other, it's just excellent. The only downside I really see is it's a word game, so there will be some who are more excited than others, but it doesn't require you know super big words! The other factor is players for who English isn't their first language. This could put them at a disadvantage, so something to be mindful of. Beyond that, the perfect game. Probably the highest fun to rules ratio I know of.
