Immerse yourself in a game of creativity, deduction, and teamwork with Perfect Mismatch, a fun party game where 2 to 8 players are challenged to guess words from a card, using unusual associations of attributes as hints. Is there anything that is equally square and non-stop? Or extremely herbal, but not verbal at all?

Designed by Alexander Peshkov, Perfect Mismatch can be played in either competitive or cooperative mode, in about 20 to 30 minutes, sharing plenty of laughs while discussing hilarious attribute combinations and the associations they trigger.

Each turn, one player takes the lead and describes a secret word as precisely as possible by swiping beads toward the attributes on the two sides of a board – romantic or problematic, fingerless or fragile, wearable or helpful, extremely entertaining or not washable, and so on…

The other players must interpret the leader’s clues and hurry to vote for their chosen word. The faster they are, the more points they will get.

In cooperative mode, players unite as a team to achieve the highest combined score, working together to interpret hints and strengthen their collective understanding.
