Which one suits you?

Say It Different

Two teams, 60 seconds, one word after another – and the obvious words are off limits. A watcher from the other team sees the same card and hits “Forbidden!” the moment one slips out.

Pick Say It Different when there are four or more of you and it’s allowed to get loud.

Sea Battle

Each of you hides a fleet on your own phone, then you take turns firing into the other’s sea. A hit earns another shot – so a game can swing in a handful of moves.

Pick Sea Battle when two people want a tense guessing duel with a bit of tactics.

What they have in common

• In both, everyone has secret information on their own phone.
• Both come free with Gather and need no account.
