Set-Up and Game Play

Equipment

• 1 x Guess Who? game board (to be purchased from a toy store)
• Set of game cards (front and back)
• Set of mystery cards (front and back)

How to Play

1. Players choose a mystery card and place it in the front card holder of their Guess Who? game board.
2. One player begins by asking their opponent a question about a characteristic found on their 24 visible game cards in the flip card holders.
3. If the opponent answers ‘Yes,’ the asking player flips over all of the cards that do not contain that characteristic. If the opponent says ‘No,’ the asking player flips over the cards that
do contain that characteristic.
4. Play continues with players taking turns to ask questions. Through a process of elimination, players will eventually be able to guess the name of their opponent’s mystery card.

Printing Options for This Shapes Game

You may like to print the game and mystery cards double-sided against the patterned back side of the cards we’ve included in the download.

Alternatively, you can print the black-and-white version on colored card.

Note: When printing, be sure to choose ‘actual size’ in your printer settings. This will ensure that the cards fit the Guess Who? game board perfectly!
