What's Not?: The creative-thinking card game that's all about what isn't

Flip the script on traditional category games—instead of naming what fits, players win by thinking of what doesn’t.

Many games ask players to think of things that fit within categories or have certain characteristics. But in What’s Not?, players define things by exclusion, and as every card brings a new constraint, the challenge deepens!

Name an item that commonly is not found in a kitchen. And now an item that’s commonly not found in a kitchen and is also not commonly round. And now an item that commonly is not found in a kitchen, and is also not commonly round, and is also commonly not smaller than a pumpkin. Keep revealing constraints until you name a wrong answer or win seven points—whichever comes first!

It takes only a minute to learn and ten to thirty minutes to play, has no complicated rules or set-up—just jump straight in and play! Perfect for two to six players but can also be played solo and easily scales up for teams and big groups.

What’s Not? is a smart, social brain-twister for fans of word and card games.
