If Then

If Then is a cooperative card game and party game where players work together to uncover a hidden pattern. Its an accessible and engaging experience that blends logic, communication, and those satisfying aha moments.

One player takes on the role of the knower, who understands the rule for the round, while the others attempt to figure it out by placing cards into a shared sequence. After each guess, theyre told whether its correct or notbut never why. The group must interpret the feedback, remember previous attempts, and gradually piece together the logic.

The game revolves around pattern recognition and induction. Rules can be based on number values, colors, or more subtle combinations, and higher-level cards introduce more complex challenges. This scaling difficulty makes it easy to start, but keeps the game interesting over time.

What really makes If Then stand out is the collaborative aspect. Table discussion becomes part of the gameplay, as players compare ideas and refine their theories. Sometimes the solution feels obviousuntil it suddenly isnt. And when the group finally cracks the pattern, its genuinely rewarding.

If Then is a great fit for game nights with friends or family who enjoy a party game with a bit more brainpower. Its quick to learn, fast to play, and easy to revisit.
