Wavelength
30m - 45m
2 - 5 Players
Ages 14+
Wavelength is a social guessing game in which two teams compete to read each other’s minds. Teams take turns rotating a dial to where they think a hidden bullseye is located on a spectrum. One of the players on your team — the Psychic — knows exactly where the bullseye is, and draws a card with a pair of binaries on it (such as: Job – Career, Rough – Smooth, Fantasy – Sci-Fi, Sad Song – Happy Song, etc). The Psychic must then provide a clue that is *conceptually* where the bullseye is located between those two binaries.
For example, if the card this round is HOT-COLD and the bullseye is slightly to the "cold" side of the centre, the Psychic needs to give a clue somewhere in that region. Perhaps "salad"?
After the Psychic gives their clue, their team discusses where they think the bullseye is located and turns the dial to that location on that spectrum. The closer to the center of the bullseye the team guess, the more points they score!

A party game with a very clever concept, which is wonderfully replayable and loads of fun with a large group (8 or so). It continually amazes me how good other people are at this game, and it's rare for me to enjoy a game this much when I am so horribly bad at it.

For its intended purpose, very low weight gaming without keeping any score, it's an absolute slamdunk. It's also a very Nice game in the way that it doesn't put people on the spot to perform or such.

Great party game. Can have the Codenames problem where a cluegiver is thinking quietly while everyone else waits. Probably unbalanced in that 15-85% clues are harder than extrema. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Interesting Decisions: 4/5 Fun: 5/5 Flow: 4/5 Interactivity: 4/5 Tail: 4/5 Presentation: 5/5 Overall: 8.7/10
