Touch It! (2022)

About this game

In TOUCH IT!, players are asked: “How much do you trust your fingers to see?” No matter which of the versions you get your hands on (the newest of which include Marine Life, Dungeon Crawler, and [US] Pop Culture), players interact with an evocative theme that includes dozens of remarkable illustrations brimming with charisma. TOUCH IT! is a competitive party game that is fast, fast, fast: taught in seconds, a setup that is just a shuffle, and rounds that are even faster. Players are tasked with identifying the picture on the back of their card by touching its raised image made of UV gloss—a new level of tactility for board games! The game flow is as follows: (1) Draw your card (no peeking at the back); (2) Touch the back and guess which of the four images on the front is yours; and (3) Correct answers score you points, but being the fastest scores you more. This simple scoring system applies a certain pressure: push your luck and gamble to be the first to answer perhaps a bit quicker than you had wanted. Laugh with those at the table as you fumble and bumble when challenging your sense of touch with TOUCH IT!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• 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 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
