エスペライゼーション (Gibberers: The Word Game of Language Invention and Civilization Development) (2024)

About this game

People with different knowledge and languages met and united as a new tribe, creating a new language and developing civilization. Gibberers: Invention of Language and Civilization is an expert word game akin to field linguistics. In the game, players become primitive humans who meet aliens and create a new language that allows them to communicate. As the vocabulary grows and generations pass, the new language evolves like a tech tree. Gibberers includes short rules that allow for a 60-minute game and full "expert" rules that generate a 180-minute experience not like any other word games.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.9/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
