Anomia (Card Game)

Anomia: [uh-NO-mee-uh] – Noun –

1) A problem with word finding or recall.

2) Chaos.

3) The game where common knowledge becomes
uncommonly fun!

Anomia plays off the fact that our minds are positively brimming with all
sorts of random information; things to eat, pop songs, websites, etc. Sure,
under normal circumstances, it’s easy enough to give an example of a frozen
food, or a dog breed; but you will find that your brain works a little
differently under pressure! The directions are simple. Draw a card from the
center pile and flip it over. Does the symbol on your card match one on another
player’s card? If so, you must quickly face-off with the other player by giving
an example of the person, place, or thing on their card before they can do the
same for yours. If you blurt a correct answer out first, you win their card and
drawing continues. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Wild cards allow unlike symbols
to match, increasing the number of things you must pay attention to. Cascading
face-offs can occur when you hand over a lost card revealing a new top card on
your play pile. All this adds up to a high-energy, hilarious play experience
where everyone is involved at all times. Easy to learn, fun to play over and
over again, Anomia will have any group of friends, family, even perfect
strangers, shouting and laughing out loud as they try to beat each other to
the punch!
