If you fancy a classic 2-player board game, then try Guess Who. It is like solving a riddle to guess the character your opponent has chosen. Know the characters to improve your chances to win.
Guess Who is a game (as the name suggests) all about guessing which of the characters your opponent has chosen. The first player to guess the correct answer, i.e., guess the hidden character of the other player, wins the game. Each of you will take your game board with 24 characters’ faces on it and place one of your 24 mystery cards in the empty frame. This is the character that your opponent has to guess. You or the opponent can only ask the “yes” or “no” question to get it right.
Not all board games are about strategy and pure critical thinking skills. Some games come with a single and simple purpose, i.e., entertainment and a good laugh. Guess Who falls into that niche of board games as you or the opponents pick a character from the 24 given cards/characters, and the other person has to guess your choice by asking questions. Not knowing where to begin is what makes it challenging yet fun.
Millennials would agree that Guess Who is one of their best childhood memories. Your parents or grandparents most probably bought you this amazing guessing game as a birthday or Christmas present. This board game comes with 24 mystery cards with 24 different faces or characters.
You can choose a card and randomly place it in the empty card slot on your board game, and the opponent has to guess it by asking questions. Although a game has 24 characters, the characters have evolved and even replaced some classic choices in recent years. You are going to learn about the most recent collection of characters in a Guess Who game.
