Get a Grip: The No Thumbs Challenge Game (2017)

About this game

Get a Grip is a dexterity party game. Two players have to fulfil a task, givenby a revealed task with their thumb tied to the palm. Rules suggest, that adults should be handicapped vs. children by having additional two fingers bound with the provided cloth ribbon, while kids may use all four fingers, but never the thumb. Tasks might be drawing a sketch or forming something out of Plasticine, but there are several others, e.g. twisting a coin like a gyroscope. Most tasks come with a time limit, after which the remaining would vote, who did the better job. (Because of that, the official minimum player number is four, although the challenge is always only taken by two players.) The winner of a round will take the card. In case of a tie, a new card is revealed and both cards are the stake for the next challenge. To win the game, three cards are required. Contains Wheat.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 10.
• 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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
