That's Not a Hat - GameNight! Se11 Ep34 - How to Play and Playthrough

[@bernard832]

I love how the rules explanation just turned into the gameplay.

[@improg]

This doesn't seem like it's enough to be a game and yet here it is: not only a complete game, but a hilarious one at that.

[@NeatoZen]

still watching but i love this game so much! at 7:05 nikki gives lincoln a key that he agrees to take while the key is face up in front of dave is one of the many joys this game brings :)

[@MrVurtan]

That is a great game. Seeing you enjoying the game and laughing makes it even better!

[@ForChitsGiggles]

This was such a fun and silly memory game, anything involving remembering very basic items and suddenly I'm out of my depth hah 😅 Thank you for having me on as a guest, I really enjoy this series and it was great to play with Deborah again too!

[@saraann8140]

Not sure what was more fun - The game or the players having a blast 🥰 Actually both 🥰 Another excellent show - Ty ty all 🥰

[@ob1quixote]

Deborah's face when Nikki couldn't remember 😂😂😂 ♥✨💖💜

[@DrBrooksNY]

Played this a PAX as a 3 player and had the best time. We were the only ones in the room laughing ourselves silly. Immediately bought it. My weekly 4 player group loves it. With the weekly meetup that plays Ark Nova level games? it wasn't such a hit. I'm not a memory game fan but still have a lot of fun with this one.

[@tolkienfan4ever]

I love how Dave reveals the key in game 1 and then less than 30 seconds later, Nikki passes Lincoln “a key” and he readily accepts it even though it’s face up in front of Dave. Such a fun and chaotic game!

[@davidarnott6085]

Interestingly enough, if he knows what he's actually getting and what he's about to pass, you could make a case for intentionally accepting the "key" as strategy.

[@fredrikskogberg6449]

Played this over Christmas with relatives. Great fun but so frustrating when your mind just go blank and you can’t even remember a single item you’ve seen during the whole play through.

[@jenniferhuer]

Great game play, as always! Love how Lincoln is so quick and confident in his responses when accepting cards, esp. when pointing out when a card is incorrect! Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. :)

[@Warriorking.1963]

Oh I think we have to give this one a thumbs up! What a fantastic game, so simple to learn, and yet tricky as heck. That plus my favourite players, sure what more could I ask for... excellent! Edit: My copy's ordered! 😁👏

[@EnterMyNameHere]

Another banger, I'm definitely gonna get this one but gonna homebrew the card passing around going on top to going on bottom. Fells more natural.

[@SharlzG]

What a great calamitous party game. My memory is so messed up since covid that I'd be terrible at it, but I'm definitely gifting this to a few people. Thanks for the play through.

[@marquonuk]

This taps into that same challenge and difficulty people have where street con artists say "Find the queen playing card" or "Find the ball under the cup" (except they cheat as well and move it using sleight of hand!). Since vision is our most prominent sense of the five, we can easily keep track of things we can see, but as this is using short-term memory, the moment we can't see things any more we really lose the ability to keep track. Looks (no pun intended) like a lot of fun! :-)

[@lucasovalente]

Fun group and fun game! It would be wonderful to watch you play Turn the Tide by Stefan Dorra! Hugs from Brazil! ❤🇧🇷

[@darbyl3872]

This reminds me of Just One, because it's so simple with minimal components and rules, and somebody just put it in a box and sold it. Now it's in every Barnes and Noble. I could have done that, but no one knew.

[@victoriarobinson3909]

We like to enforce the saying thank you enthisastically rule. It actually makes you forget your gifts as you're concentrating so hard on graciously accepting your gift.

[@victoriacuervoo]

You explain it so well!!!

[@JovinGhoul23]

You can actually use the black and white arrows on the cards as clues, if there's only one white arrow in the round etc. Very clever little game! Probably going to get this for our group

[@ramonvanderben8120]

Absolutely hilarious!! I'll bet that when I'll play this with my 4-year old, I'll lose every single time!!!

[@dangerousbeans2907]

The worst is when you start calling things from previous games, or you bluff with an object that’s face up in some fail pile 😊 good stuff.

[@darthinsane]

That's a quick, fun and erratic game... And I'm with Deborah, I had no idea what the cards were after the second pass...

[@fgbizen]

"Hey, GameNight! Here's a thumb for you~" 😄 As mentioned, I love how the rules explanation seamlessly transitioned to gameplay.. and I also love while it's a very simple game, the discussions at the end might be longer than some of more complex games you've had 😀 Now, the question is.. how I can get myself the copy of this game 🥲

[@RobertoPanetta81]

I played this for the first time at PAX Unplugged in a large group and it was a blast. I am terrible at it!

[@RobotButlerJ]

Wow, this was harder than expected

[@starcloak]

So much memorization I'd so bad it. Am I weird for wanting to see if a group of eight people with photographic memory would end up playing this forever 😂

[@hiho8084]

This would be a great game to keep your mind active, but I think I would do very poorly. I would enjoy watching people play this.

[@margaritoamargo6347]

Any news on the BGG site coming back up sometime soon?

[@mindyfranke5279]

Fun playthrough; my memory was just as rubbish as everyone else's!

[@nellgwenn]

The question is, is there a hat card?

[@boardgamegeek]

There is! Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@Irish_eliZAG]

What is this purple box they use to hold the cards in one place?

[@Littlefootization]

So only interaction between people sit next to you?

[@randalladkins7452]

I was just as lost as they were. Does that mean we are all starting to get short term memory loss? 😢

[@seanytoyguns8638]

Any chance of y'all playing either Fallout or Zombicide???

[@david6294]

Very like "Cockroach Poker"

[@kalkamatchkonjeeta]

Deborah Ann Woll [ Karen Page ]

[@frankharris9744]

It would be a mistake to play with Sheldon Cooper.

[@randalladkins7452]

Very fun, but THIS is exactly why I hate memory games. (Play this against kids and they destroy you at it!). 😊

[@msmilder25]

I'm out...memory games not for me, hilarious to watch though. Interesting game to play with kids with better memories though.

[@MassiveDynamic9]

Nobody made the lipstick on a pig joke.... boo.

[@keithparker1346]

a bit of a brain melter of a game - a bit like Trio where playing several games makes it harder due to the speed of the game and memory involved

[@JovinGhoul23]

Reminds me of Deja Vu

[@bayareamasto]

Hilarious watch. I don’t think this game is for me though as I could see myself lunging at someone re-gifting something I put my time and heart into.

[@koriakin]

Looks like a good kids game. Feels like could be 'solvable' and becoming too easy with practice. For something similar with a little more 'oomph' I would suggest Cockroach Poker.

[@Irish_eliZAG]

There are two options to make it more challenging. Also it looks easy when looking at it, but wheb playing it, your brain goes blank.
