Similo - Fantastic Beast (pré-joué) (EN)

The games in the L'As des jeux Bazar are pre-played games. They have been inspected by one of our game experts and are certified "Complete." You may find some minor imperfections, such as light wear on the box or on certain game components.

Step into the world of Fantastic Beasts with Similo: Fantastic Beasts, a cooperative deduction game where the whole table works together to unmask a secret character. Twelve cards are laid out in the middle of the table, each showing a character from the wizarding world, and one player becomes the Clue Giver: they know the secret identity and must guide everyone else without ever speaking a word.

To do this, the Clue Giver plays cards from their hand as clues. A card played horizontally tells the Guessers which characters to remove, while a card played vertically tells them which ones to keep instead. Physical resemblance, magical status, associated creature: anything can become a clue. After each round, players remove one or more cards from the table until only one remains. If it is the right character, the table wins the game; if it gets removed by mistake, everyone loses at once.

You will likely enjoy Similo: Fantastic Beasts if you are after a party game that is quick to explain but sparks real debate around the table. Each round lasts barely 10 minutes, making it a great choice to open or close a game night, and its cooperative spirit appeals just as much to families as to groups of friends who love picking clues apart together.

This card game has picked up close to 8000 ratings on BoardGameGeek with an average score nearing 7 out of 10, a solid result for such a short deduction game. A fun detail: since every Similo box shares the same card format, you can mix the characters from this edition with the clues from another Similo box to make games even trickier.

The trio behind Similo, Martino Chiacchiera, Hjalmar Hach and Pierluca Zizzi, created this version fully dedicated to the world of Fantastic Beasts, with cards illustrated by Xavier Gueniffey Durin, also known as Naiade.
