You will score points in the same way as the normal game. If you hit the middle of the target (four point wedge), you will only score three points. You will get to add another wavelength card to the game though. This means you will get to play another round likely increasing your score.

Ever wanted to be part of a game show? Ever wanted to play a team-based board game with a great prop centre-piece? Look no further, Wavelength may be the game for you. Wavelength is a team game where you must crank a big dial in the middle of the table to try and work out where, between two sides of a scale, a clue fits. No Numbers: You cannot use numbers, percentages, ratios, or any other number related word to suggest the position of the target. If a number is part of a proper name, you can use a number. For this round the Psychic has to give a clue on the spectrum from “for kids” to “for adults”. As the range is on the kids side, they will have to come up with something that is mostly for kids. A possible clue is an imaginary friend. Cryptography is the type of alluring puzzle that translates incredibly well to the tabletop. Decrypto proves this, offering an exceptional party game of decoding secret messages. It’s the type of activity that provokes an emotional response, making participants feel devious and clever. At the start of the game, the active team chooses one player to become the psychic (clue giver). This changes from player to player. The clue giver draws a card from the wavelength cards. Each of these cards has two sides which have two opposing concepts. He or she chooses one of the cards to use and places it in the presence of all to see.Just One is an award-winning, fully co-operative word guessing game for a smaller player count and is thus ideal for families. Dixit is another fun and popular title that pushes the boundaries of guessing by using pictures instead of words. Using just images makes it playable across all ages. Open the screen: Using the plastic handle, open the screen and look at where the target is located. You should always open the screen COMPLETELY, even if you can see the target with it partially open: otherwise, players watching you will be able to guess the general target location. After the Psychic gives their clue, it's up to the rest of their team to READING THEIR MIND and turn the dial as close to the center of the target area as they can. Wavelength is a social guessing game where 2 teams compete to read each other's minds. Teams take turns rotating a dial to where they believe a hidden bullseye is located on a spectrum. One of the players on your team — the Psychic — knows specifically where the bullseye is, and draws a card with a pair of binaries on it (such as: Job - Career, Rough - Smooth, Fantasy - Sci-Fi, Sad Song - Happy Song, etc). The Psychic must then give a clue that is *conceptually* where the bullseye is located between those two binaries.

Lacuna was one of the highlights of our first big family trip of the summer, and it’s earned a place in our car camping totes — likely for all time. Lacuna could easily become a fun new tradition for your family as well.In this example, the target is slightly to the "hot" side, so the Psychic says "Coffee" since coffee is hot, but not the hottest thing imaginable. What's more, Wavelength isn't a mere box of cards and pencils like so many of its peers. The engine of all this uncertainty, referred to only as 'The Dial', is quite a talking point itself. A big wheel that sits proud of the box like a plastic fairground attraction, nudging the dial a little this way and that as you guess never gets old. The zone runs from two points at each edge to four in the middle. Their challenge is then to give a clue that tells their team-mates where on the dial the scoring zone is.

Wavelength is a straightforward game to play. Players are assigned to two teams. One player on one of the teams is presented with a card, on which two dichotomous extremes are written, e.g. dark – light. The “active” player is shown a randomised position on a sliding dial – let’s imagine that the position is near, but not at the very end of, the “dark” end of the scale. They have to come up with a word which matches that position on the scale – they may choose “twilight”, or “Deadpool”. The rest of the team then have to guess where on the scale they think that word belongs. The game ends once one team gets 10 points. If both teams get 10 points during the same round, the team with the most points after the round wins, but if still a tie, then another turn is taken to get the winner. Clue RestrictionsThe worst part of playing a modern board game is “the teach” — that interminable period of time when you first sit down to share something unusual with a new group of people. Very rarely comes a game that literally has no “teach” moment, where you can just sit down and run through the opening few rounds and things just sorta make sense. Lacuna, the latest offering from CMYK, is just that sort of magical offering: a chill game, built for good vibes, that requires almost no explanation.
