Is Imagination worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Groups of friends who want to play an online association game together, rather than play individually.
- Players who enjoy guessing images from clues and want a game built around social interpretation.
- Casual board-game groups looking for turns centered on choosing cards and creating associations, rather than longer campaign play.
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking varied gameplay systems may find the repeated association-and-card-guessing rounds narrow.
- Those who want changing objectives or a substantially different round structure across sessions may find the central loop repetitive.
- Groups larger than 6 players cannot all play in one session.
Our take on Imagination
The focused clue-and-guess format keeps rounds centered on associations and card choices, at the cost of broader strategic systems or varied objectives. The 6-player limit also excludes larger groups from playing together in one session.
What is Imagination?
Imagination is an online multiplayer board game for up to 6 players.
On each turn, a player chooses a card from their hand and gives an association for it. Other players select images from their hands, trying to guess the storyteller’s card and have their own cards chosen. Points are awarded for creating associations that draw players to the intended image. Players can choose from prepared associations, and the game includes more than one thousand cards. Its rounds center on making associations, interpreting clues, and selecting images.
