Monikers (2014)

As we wrap up this review of Monikers, what stands out most is its deceptively simple premise that belies a rich tapestry of laughter and camaraderie.

“It's a 4.5 out of five, it's a really solid game. I think the main thing that holds it back for me is that combination aspect. I really like when a party game lets you be clever and the way you combine things; this doesn't have that one element, but the level of laughter you'll see from this is intense and off the charts.”(19:01)

“What's great about Monikers is the cards are way more interesting than a hat full of TV chefs, so you get to watch as your friend tries to mime the long piece from Tetris.”

“Monikers is a fantastic, smart game about wonderfully dumb topics. The rules are so easy to explain that you barely have to teach it before people start playing.”

“A charades game, a party game where randomness is not particularly important, where you actually have strategy and interesting decisions, yet you also have the creativity and the ziness of party games. Definitely a winner in my book, and when it comes to party games this has to be one of my favorite ones.”(11:01)

“So yeah, shut up and sit down. Categorically recommends monikers.”(9:34)

“Monikers feels modern in a way that a lot of the older and stuffier variations of classic party games don't.”

The Polygon panel highlighted Monikers as an exceptionally entertaining and hilarious party game, showcasing it enthusiastically as a standout title on their Overboard table game series.

The reviewer highlights Monikers as a fantastic and engaging addition to their library updates, praising its strong social gameplay and reliability as an entertaining group experience.

“If you like celebrity this is like a really nice version of that game that's way quicker to play and you know has probably a better range than your friends are gonna pick on paper um so really easy to recommend a ton of fun”(4:42)

“Monikers is quick, simple, hilarious genius. It is a sure-fire box of laughs that will come out again, and again, and again. It’s a 30-minute hit that plays with a party of any size and can be made to work with any audience. Just go out and get it!”

“It's so much fun and it's guaranteed to make people laugh. I will say it tends to work a little bit better if you give people a little more choice over what can go into the deck.”(9:08)
