Almost Obvious

A lateral-thinking party card game where players race to find the cleverest connection between two seemingly unrelated ideas. The best answer isn’t always the right one — it’s the one that makes the whole table go “oh, that’s good.”

How it plays

  • Two cards hit the table with unrelated concepts
  • Everyone races to find a connection, pattern, or punchline
  • The judge picks the most creative answer
  • Fast rounds, loud arguments, and the occasional flash of genuine brilliance

Why it works

Almost Obvious rewards the kind of sideways thinking that makes conversation interesting. No trivia knowledge required — just the ability to see links that other people miss.
