Such & Such (2005)

About this game

All the answers are in twos! In Such & Such, teams try to solve a set of five clues. All of the answers are things that go together. For example, “The two youngest Brady kids” (answer: Bobby and Cindy); coffee complements (answer: cream and sugar); and motto of The Three Musketeers (answer: All for one and one for all). To play, one team member reads five clues to his teammates, who then have 40 seconds to solve them. Teammates may pass but will not be allowed to return to the clue. When time runs out, the opposing team has the chance to steal any passed clues and any clues that were not answered before time ran out. The first team to reach 25 points wins. Such & Such is for four or more players who play in teams. Ages 10 and up.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
