Accentuate (2014)

About this game

"The fun of accents". Party game for 2 or more teams of 2 or more players. One team member rolls a die to determine the play options for the round: Play means go ahead and play; All allows all teams to guess; Swap allows the player to swap their accent card; and Pass allows a player to pass their go to another team member. The player draws a quotation card and an accent card and then has 30 seconds to read the quotation while trying to imitate that accent to the best of their ability. Afterwards, the players' team mates have one attempt to guess the accent and score a point. Under the All option, the other teams may also try and guess.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 12.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
