You draw a card, which gives nine words or phrases for you to pick from. The suggestions are divided into “easy,” “hard,” and “challenging,” and if your group wants, you can give players additional points for guessing more difficult ideas.
Start by placing the main concept pawn on an icon that indicates the core of what the concept is.
Some concepts involve more than one line of connected ideas. In that case, sub-concept pawns and cubes of the matching colour can be used to indicate a secondary descriptive idea.
For even more complex ideas, or if players are struggling to guess the word or phrase, you may want to use multiple sub-concepts.

I love the design and the simplicity of the rules. After one or two turns, people know how to play. No difficult hour long instructions; just lay it on the table and play.
Only downfall is the scoring; that’s not clearly explained and open to interpretation. So we just make up our own rules.
The game was everything that I anticipated it to be — fun and very pretty.
The box which it was delivered in was beaten down, but the box of the game was uninjured. Thank god!
I ordered this game for my friend’s kids. They loved the game, wanted to play it immediately and then didn’t want to stop!
a very simple and fun board game to play with the family. The delivery and the package arrived correctly
It’s a good game for a family kids age range 6 to 12, it was easy to follow and still engaging for kids and the adults
It forces you to think outside the box when explaining a concept. Very smart and good entertainment.
Really good game. Easy to learn. Can chose easy, medium or hard depending on your preferences. Entertaining and frustrating (in a good way)!
Great Game. Many hours of fun to be had. Amazing for entertainment. Would make an excellent gift. Can be enjoyed by different ages. But there is also a junior version for the younger ones. Highly recomend this Game.
I have been looking at this game for quite some time and wanted the adult version. I bought the kids version for a gift and for our children (7 and 4) and they really enjoy it. They can play together or we can play as a family.
I found it really good for my younger one, it can help build her confidence and she is really happy when she can guess or she makes us guess the correct animal. For our eldest, it might be a little too simple at times. No need to spend to much time playing, it is a quick game and all are enjoying it. All in all, I think it is perfect for younger children 4 up to 8.
Love the game – but had a duplicate blue “question mark” piece where there should have been a black. Contacted company months ago, but no reply.
Easy to play when you get hang of what each picture means. Some clues rather American but good fu
I played this game for the first time today with a group of 9 people. We started with the easy concepts and we really quickly got the hang of it. Ended up shouting ‘just look at the board, it’s so obvious!!’ at each other by the time we got to doing harder concepts at the end! Already can’t wait to play this game again. Although we played in a large group, I plan on next playing it just with my parents as easy to play as individuals instead.
Imagine a cross between Articulate (but without the words), charades (but without acting), and Pictionary (but without drawing)…
Playing the game is a bit like trying to convey a book or film title – say ‘Harry Potter’ or ‘Lord of the Rings’ – only using emojis. Or let’s go up to the next level, a whole saying: ‘smoke like a chimney’ or ‘silence is golden’. This is the sort of hilarity and mental gymnastics we’re talking.
Basically, you have a board with a fixed number of symbols. Most of the symbols are pretty self-explanatory, but get a ‘menu’ to help decode the trickier ones. Each one has up to three possible meanings.
Then you pick a card. This card has a selection of concepts for you to explain to the rest of the group. You can pick from easy, medium, or difficult. The catch? You can only use the symbols on the board. You can, however, use different coloured counters to convey what is the main concept, the sub-concept(s), and other qualities. You can combine symbols in any way you like.
It’s easier to example with an example. Main concept – water/liquid. Sub-concept – food/edible. Qualities – white. So we’re looking for a white, edible liquid. What could this be? Milk!
There’s a point for being the first to guess, and a point if someone gets your concept correctly. Time limits are optional.
Of course, the concepts can get much more complex than in the example. Some of them really need a lot of creativity and lateral thinking.
At the same time, it’s not difficult to understand the game, and you can pick the level of difficulty to suit you, so everyone can play.
Overall, this is the most fun I’ve had playing a board game in years! Family members have also really enjoyed it.
I bought this game after stumbling across a YouTube video of a few minor celebrities playing it. It seemed like good fun, so I added it to my Wish List and eventually bought it. I’ve had great fun playing Concept with my friends and family and would definitely recommend it – although I think the price could be 5-6 lower.
In essence this is charades with a board, the board contains icons which can be interpreted in a number of ways, by placing concept counters on the board the questioners can prompt the guessers closer to the word, there are a number of sets of different coloured counters so sub concepts can be revealed, for example a simple concept such a bucket could be illustrated by a counter on the tool icon a counter on metal and plastic, then you can add a water icon, an ‘in-to’ icon in a different colour. The questioners and the guessers get rewarded when the answer is guessed.
I love a brand new board game and this one is definitely a new spin, moving away from knowledge or luck and relying on intuition so its playable for all ages. With this new generation using iconography more on more on things like mobile phones and iPads they have an advantage especially if they send text messages based around Emoji.
I gave this game ago based on the reviews and also on the fact it won the prestigious Speil des Jahres prize which rewards the best games of the year and I haven’t been disappointed, it has definite replay ability and the board and pieces are good quality.
A clever game. We played Concept yesterday for the first time with another couple. It’s not hilarious like Taboo, time’s up, Cranium etc but it’s very entertaining. You have to think hard to articulate your thoughts in a simple manner so that your team mates can guess the word your are describing. Strangely enough, our 8 year old was better at it than we were, so my learning is KISS: Keep it short and simple!
As for the delivery: the box was damaged – a big hole (a frustrated player?) at the bottom.
This is a good game if you want a board game that has similar feel than Pictionary but is a more interesting concept. Each card has 9 options of varying difficulty, so it means that pretty much anyone can play and still find it a bit of challenge.
The one down side of this game is that the rules aren’t very clear about how the teams work. We only found out from someone else who had played it a number of times.
Brilliant game! Good to find something that everyone can play and which doesn’t rely on general knowledge/trivia, which goes out of date. What’s more, when you do eventually run out of cards, you can just add your own words. Whilst it seems quite complicated to start with it really isn’t and, after a couple of goes, you get the hang of it. It’s like charades without the acting. Great that you play in pairs, but can be played by individuals against each other. We did away with the scoring system and just enjoyed the challenge. It makes you think, sometimes outside the box, but it’s not hard work and you don’t have to be a know-it-all to play, though we didn’t know who some of the people on the cards were. Thoroughly recommend.
