Just One is a cooperative word association game. The active player tries to guess the mystery word with the help of unique one-word clues given by the other players. Any duplicated clues will be removed.
Note: Numbers, acronyms, onomatopoeia, and special characters are all considered to be words.
Examples: 007 is allowed to help someone guess Bond, Riiiiing or SMS are allowed to help someone guess Telephone, and $ is allowed to help someone guess America.
Gameplay
1: A mystery word is presented.
2: Each player writes one single-word clue on their board.
3: One player reviews the clues. Any identical or invalid clues are removed.
Identical clues:
• Two identical words
Example: Mouse and Mouse are identical
• Variants from the same word family
Example: Prince and Princess are considered to be identical
• Variants of the same word: plurals, gender differentiations, and spelling mistakes don’t count as actual differences
Example: Prince and Princes, Actor and Actress, Philosophy and Filosofie are identical
Invalid clues:
• The mystery word written differently
Example: Shirt → Shurt
• The mystery word written in a foreign language
Example: Shrub → Buisson
• A word from the same family as the mystery word
Example: Prince → Princess
• An invented word
Example: Cake → Swee’ting
• A word phonetically identical to the mystery word with a different meaning
Example: Weather → Whether
Note: If all clues are identical or invalid and have been removed, the turn is over.
4: The active player guesses the mystery word.
End of Game
The game ends after 13 rounds. Guessing all 13 mystery words correctly is a perfect score.
