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.

I bought this game not knowing quite what to expect, but it ended up being a lot of fun. The rules were easy to learn, so we were able to start playing pretty quickly without spending forever reading instructions. I like that it’s simple enough to pick up but still makes you think and plan your moves. We’ve played it with two people and had a great time, and it’s also fun with a group. It’s one of those games that gets surprisingly competitive while still being easygoing and fun. Definitely a great game for game nights with family or friends. Easy to learn, fun to play, and we’ve already been reaching for it again.

Overlap is a great strategy game that is fun for both kids and adults! This game is for two players or more, which is great because we are always looking for more two player games to keep at home. This game felt really unique compared to most of the card games we already had, I like that there can be some strategy to it and the grids on the cards are different to any game we've ever owned. It's pretty easy to learn and honestly can get pretty interesting regardless of the number of players! We had a lot of fun playing it and will continue to enjoy this on game nights!

Overlap is a fast-paced and easy-to-learn game for two or more players. Although it’s a strategically based game, drawing wild cards and cards with fewer colored rectangles can give you an advantage. However, due to its simplicity, players might get bored after a few rounds and want to play something else. Overall, I highly recommend this creative game.

I am changing my review about this game. There were a couple questions about the game play that the rules didn't answer. There certainly are many other games out there that we come across this issue as well, but this game, while easy to play, I was not 100% sure that we were playing it right. I do want to say that while the game didn't cost a lot, the cards themselves are sturdy and the colors are bright. Seller has reached out to me about the issues to possibly change the instructions. The seller was quick to respond every time we went back and forth with emails. He went above and beyond to make me happy with this game and the service I received. So I am raising my rating. I think most people will enjoy this game. Sometimes the games are pretty quick, sometimes they can take a little longer. We had some laughs when playing the game! I highly recommend purchasing from this seller.

Thos was a fun little game. It was a bit hard to figure out atvfiest but once qe got going it was a great game night addition. Games went pretty quickly and were challenging.

The concept of the hand is simple, but both luck and strategy are needed to win. It’s a fun game for even two players. It’s easy to learn and great for families. Simple enough for kids and fun for adults who might be more strategic.

This is an excellent game that develops strategy and problem solving skills. My 5 year old granddaughter loves to play this game, and it so exciting to hear her thinking through her next play, deciding which card is the most strategic choice. Two people can play, but you might want to set aside some of the special cards, which can prolong the game. We like to play using only 5 cards, which makes the game go faster. I highly recommend this fame for family game night, because it is a challenge for all ages. Another fun game by the same company is Zippy. Zippy is similar to Spot It, but it much more difficult and fun for ages 4 and up.

Nice and thinky game, enjoyable for both kids and adults
