Let's speak in English while playing a game!

We will play Just One on BoardgamesArena.

ヒントを与えて当ててもらう事が目的ですが、ヒントは一人一つで、ただし同じヒントとなった場合は無効になり、沢山プレイ人数がいても逆に足枷になるというルールは秀逸です。

## Overview

Just One is a cooperative party game where you get other players to guess mystery words by the team writing secret clues that help corroborate what the Mystery Word is.
Choose your word carefully since any identical clues from your team will be eliminated.

## Gameplay

• 1. A mystery word is presented.
• 2. Each player writes a single-word* clue on their board.
• 3. The game removes exact matches.
• 4. One player reviews the remaining clues. Any identical and/or invalid are removed (see Eliminated Clues). (If all clues have been removed, the turn is now over!)
• 5. The active player guesses the mystery word, or opts to pass.

* With three or four players, every player offers two clues.

### Clue Validity

#### Acceptable Clues

Names (proper nouns), numbers, acronyms, onomatopoeia, and special characters are all valid clues.
Examples:

• Mickey is allowed as a clue for Mouse
• 007 is allowed to help someone guess Bond
• Riiing or SMS are allowed to help someone guess Telephone
• $ is allowed to help someone guess America.

#### Eliminated Clues

##### Identical

• Identical words. Example: Mouse and Mouse (or mouse) are identical (usually done by game).
• Words in the same family. Example: Prince and Princess are considered to be identical. Japan and Japanese are considered identical.
• The same words in the singular and plural. Example: Horse and Horses are considered identical.
• The same words with spelling mistakes. Example: Rhythm and Rythem are considered identical.

##### Invalid

• The mystery word written differently. Example: Shirt → Shurt or Color → Colour
• The mystery word written in a different language. Example: Green → Vert
• An invented word. Example: Cake → Swee’ting
• Homophones (a word phonetically identical to the mystery word with a different meaning). Example: Weather → Whether

## Results

• Success: If the active player correctly guesses the Mystery Word, score 1 point.
• Failure: If the active player makes a wrong guess, do not gain the point, AND discard the next card in the stack. If the card guessed was the last card, lose a point.
• Skip: If the active player chooses not to answer, skip their turn and do not gain the point.

## End of Game

The game ends after 13 rounds. Guessing all 13 mystery words correctly is a perfect score.
