Similo Review - with Tom Vasel

[@joelbergvonlinde1389]

I think the reason it is flying under the radar is that it’s not for sale anywhere. I had to go all the way to Essen in Germany to get a couple of the sets.

[@ryusorata]

The overall mechamisms remind me of unusual suspects. Keep removing suspects until you narrow it down

[@jeremyoverton7047]

Bought these at Essen and like Tom says, they are great, light, quick deduction games that you can play anywhere and with anyone.

Next themes: Similo Myths, Similo Superheroes and Similo Moviestars

To me this looks like an even lighter version of OneKey. Same principle, get a clue, eliminate 1-2-3-4 within 4 rounds. Only difference is this game has 5 rounds and 12 cards instead of 4 and 11. I do like OneKey, but this one looks more portable, although less replayable because of the low quantity of cards per set. Also not sure about the choice of Historical figures in the History set.

[@DieHausis]

Good fast presentation. We like the game.

[@keel1701]

I can't quite tell, are those "normal sized" cards where they'll fit in a typical deckbox?

[@buddyfett80]

Annoyingly, no. They are taller than normal playing cards

[@OSB911]

Love the concept, not the characters chosen. Hoping they come out with a version our family would enjoy!

[@keel1701]

In the fable deck or the history deck?

[@fearanarchy]

Doesn't help me that I have no idea who,half of the History deck is.

[@ThePantheons]

@@fearanarchy your lack of general knowledge isn't a board game's fault :-v

[@fearanarchy]

@@ThePantheons Indeed. However, a referential product aimed at, likely, children and families is not going to warrant as much extra effort as would be required any more than snarky comments will bully me towards shame that I do not know all of the "famous" people of world history given the use that I see in this product.

[@TheCassinus]

I can see it going pretty well with the homeschool crowd. I doubt any public schooled children would know half of the people.

[@vascocarrinho4334]

Tom can't read :S it's Similo not Similio XD

[@mattias9095]

Oh I like this

[@odsonic]

its similar to guess who but way better and much better graphic design

[@BigBlueRabbit]

Packaging just put me off - ugh. Shame when the cards look so good.

[@guillermoz4914]

I feel like the deduction can easily be male or female until you get to the final round.

[@DarkCreed]

The case is like the ones used for Top Trump games

[@thomasmallory4629]

Dice Tower approved...and mispronounced.

[@TheCyhel]

It kills me that you call it simil-i-o when it's similo (just like the lazy pronunciation of "similar") Apart from that, amazing game!

[@Calistake047]

Isn't this like a reprint of Hall Of Fame? (Either that, or it's a total rip-off)

[@forisrex]

same designer, its a re-implementation
