A cooperative deduction game where the goal is for the other player to guess a secret character by playing other character cards from your hand as clues and indicating whether they resemble or differ from the secret character. Similo: The Lord of the Rings is a cooperative deduction game where all players work together to identify a secret card based on a series of clues.

The fans try to guess a secret character from Middle-earth among the twelve cards laid out on the table. They are supported by the clue-giver, who plays cards from their hand as hints to suggest which cards should be removed. For example, if the secret card is Frodo Baggins, you might play Éowyn to suggest to the guessers that the characters to be removed are a human, a woman, or a Rohirrim. Or you could play Saruman to indicate that the characters to be removed are a wizard, a villain, or white-haired... it’s up to the guessers to understand what the clue-giver is hinting at.

This new Lord of the Rings edition of the critically acclaimed deduction game features 39 large cards beautifully illustrated by Naiade, showcasing the portrait and name of various characters from Middle-earth. Did you know that this game is fully compatible with other games from the Similo series?

You can also mix and combine different editions by using one stack for the characters and another for the clues... will you guess which character has something in common with Hermione Granger, Albus Dumbledore, and Ron Weasley from Similo: Harry Potter?.
