Overlap

Overlap is one of those games that looks straightforward until you start playing, and then you realize how clever it is. The rules take only a minute to learn, which makes it perfect for family nights or getting a group started quickly, but the strategy keeps you hooked. Every round feels different because you’re constantly trying to outthink the other players without overcomplicating things. I’ve played it with just two people and with a full group of eight, and it works surprisingly well at both ends. With two players it feels strategic and tight. With more players it turns into a fast, funny, slightly chaotic brain workout. I can also see why it’s a Mensa recommendation—the game really does make your brain fire without feeling like “homework.” The cards are sturdy, the design is clean, and rounds move fast enough that nobody loses interest. It also fits easily into a bag, so it’s great for trips. If you’re looking for a smart, simple, replayable game that works for both adults and families, this is a winner. It also makes a great stocking stuffer because it’s small, affordable, and universally fun. Highly recommend if you like games that mix quick thinking, light strategy, and lots of laughs.

Great game. Fun and simple to play. Can be played with multiple players or solitare!

Our family has really enjoyed this game! It is a huge bonus we can play up to 8 people, though usually we play with 3-4 players. It is a fun game that has some strategy, but does not require so much thinking you cannot have conversation during it. Super easy to learn and play!

The creators say this is a simple game; it is AND it is FUN. Lots of options on your turn to play. Very clever concept. Not many games can play 8 people. This can. We enjoyed it immensely.

Overlap is a winner for family game night. It’s incredibly easy to pick up and play, making it perfect for both kids and adults. The gameplay definitely reminds me of Uno, involving matching and strategy that’s fast-paced and engaging. It provides that same kind of lively, competitive fun that makes for a great family activity. ​My only note is about the deck itself: the cards are smaller than standard size, and a little harder to shuffle which is something to keep in mind, but it doesn't detract from the fun. This game is a must-have for a quick, enjoyable game night! ​

This game is so fun and addicting! It is similar to Uno, but more strategic in my opinion. I’ve played the game with my 11-year-olds at least a dozen times now. They learned it quick and they love it! A 2 player game is more strategic and requires more patience and time. The cards are about the size of an uno set, the instructions are on the cards in the box with a QR code for video instructions. The cardboard is not thin and they would take some force to tear. Overall this game is well worth the money and is a great addition to family game nights!

Very fun game once you figure out how to play! And it’s very easy to store once you are done playing too!

Fun game and Easy to catch onto the rules!

Nice and thinky game, enjoyable for both kids and adults
