So Clover

Very easy to learn, and honestly intuitive. If you hate reading long instructions and having to do a trial runs, when you just want a light hearted speedy game.... this is it. A winner in my book. Good board game to have in your inventory. Family-friendly.

I love playing this with family and friends from ages 8-80. It’s my go to gift for people that want a simple game that can be played many times before you start to get bored. I love the inside jokes that come about from playing this with my partner over the years. It’s small enough that we even take it camping or on vacations.

I'm a HUGE fan of this game! It's very similar to Codenames (another favorite), but the collaborative nature of it makes it far more relaxing and focused on fun, whereas Codenames has always been a bit more serious (and can start arguments in the wrong group). It's also a lot more likely to generate funny situations, in my experience, and I have more than a couple inside jokes with friends that came from rounds of the game (one of my friends described kimchi as "greasy cabbage" and it's haunted him for years). It's also designed to be wonderfully portable, needing only a set of small cards, some plastic game boards, and pens. It's easy to break out and designed to be quick to explain and uncomplicated (even if it can cause some head-scratching puzzles). Overall, it would be at the top of my list for anyone seeking a party game.

My siblings always enjoy this game and they are not really into board games. This game never fails, and there is no one that I showed this game to that did not enjoy. I will say it is not a standard party game, and you really have to think, especially with some of the word combinations we have gotten. I would recommend this to anyone! I even play it a bunch at only two players, and it is just as good at two!

Heard about this from a friend and brought it on a recent family vacation. It was a smash hit as it was super easy to learn and beginner friendly. It kept the entire family engaged and off our phones as it requires everyone to work together.

Super fun game. Family favorite. We wish we could buy extra cards since we blew through them.

Love this game! We play this all the time with family. If your family enjoys word games, you definitely need to give So Clover a try.

Do you love word association games?! You've found your new favorite!! This is up there with Codenames. So Clover is a fantastic cooperative game that is so hard and so fun to play. Go YouTube it (it's too hard to type how to play), just know: EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I bring this baby out to teach folks, they instantly go "this is hard!" and are skeptical, but kind enough to give it a shot (probably because there's no real explaining, you just jump right into it). After the first round EVERY. SINGLE. TIME they say "let's play again!" I've played this game until 3am. I've played this game 2 player and 6 player, it is always so fun and such a quick 10-40 minutes (depending on how long it takes people to write their words). Other word association game recommendations: Just One (definitely easier to play and learn, but not as satisfying. GREAT group game!) & Letter Jam (Not as easy as Just One or as satisfying as So Clover, but a great word association game. Espec if you like Wordl)

Great game, one of my faves

That’s So Clover has quickly become a favourite in our household and with friends. It is a cooperative word association game that is easy to learn and quick to set up, which makes it perfect for game nights and casual gatherings. The clover boards and dry erase markers are great quality, and the rules are simple enough that everyone can join in within minutes. The gameplay encourages creativity, teamwork, and lots of laughs as you try to connect word clues and work together to solve the puzzle. It works well with mixed ages and group sizes, and the short play time means you often end up playing multiple rounds in one sitting. Thanks to the huge variety of word combinations, it feels fresh every time you play. Overall, this is a smart, engaging, and highly replayable game that brings people together. An easy five star game and one I would happily recommend to anyone who loves playing games.

This game is a hilariously fun, cooperative, word association game (similar to Codenames and Just One). It's super quick and easy to teach, and anyone can pick up and play it including those who normally don't play board games. It's perfect for a group of friends or family, or to play at a party (3-6 players). I played this with a group of friends and we had a fantastic time playing round after round. I agree with the age recommendation (10+), as younger kids would have a more difficult time thinking of word associations. My only small complaint was that three of the six markers didn't work as well as the other three, but don't let that deter you from getting this game. I highly recommend So Clover.

One of the rare word games that works with only three players, where the likes of Codenames and Just One struggle. Good quality components and a fun game.

An excellent short, coop game, which is perfect for the start or finish of a gaming session, or perhaps for a party/xmas family occasion. Even serious gamers should enjoy the challenge. Also extremely replayable, and need not overstay its welcome. Brief summary, its essentially a cooperative word game, in which you are writing erasable compound clues to two different words along each side of your plastic '4-leaf' clover. This has space for four square cards, which form a larger square, and obviously can each be in one of 4 orientations. The idea is to clue the other players as to which pairs of words were randomly placed along the outside of the clover, before the clue giver removed them, and the goal of the game is for the rest of the team to replace them exactly as they were before. But to make it a little more difficult, an extra dummy card is added to the mix. So for example, the clue giver sees something like cross and garlic (not actual words on the card btw!) and writes vampire, and then does that for the other 3 sides. The team then are trying to put the cards back, with cross and garlic on the same side ... but which way round should they be? The answer is that each card has two words at the corner, which means that there should be a relation between pairs of words on different sides of the clover, giving extra clues. Problems can arise if finding a relation between 2 words is practically impossible, or just doesn't come to mind, in which case the clue giver may have to write a clue for only one, and hope their team can piece things together relying on the other clues. Why is this fun? Well lots of people like word puzzles, but also the recriminations when someone comes up with a particularly obscure or unhelpful clue can be entertaining, along with the 'oh that was so clever' exclamations at an especially ingenious clue. Or some 'great minds think alike' kind of satisfaction. Recommended if that's your kinda thing.
