Matagot Platypus Party Game | Cooperative Word Game for Adults & Kids

In Platypus, a cooperative word game, eight common or proper names - the "platypus" cards - are placed face up in front of all the players. The guides, who know the card the explorers have to find, provide clues in the form of adjective cards that best define the platypus. These clues are chosen from the guides' 4-card hand.

With each new clue, the explorers must eliminate one or two names that do not correspond to the given definition. The goal is to find the platypus while leaving the matching card visible. The game can end in two ways: when the team obtains its 4th success, in which case the players beat the game, or when the team eliminates the platypus, resulting in a loss.

The adjective cards used to define the platypus can be quite amusing and challenging. Examples might include "Acid?", "Dangerous?", "Annoying?", "A car saleswoman!", "Edible?", "Quick?", "Flexible?", or "Captain America — or an ostrich?" These wacky descriptions and definitions will keep players laughing throughout the game.

To set up Platypus, the eight "platypus" cards are placed face up in front of all the players. The guides then use their adjective cards to provide clues to help the explorers identify the target card. After each new clue, the explorers must eliminate one or two cards that they believe do not match the definition.

Platypus is a challenging game of deduction, as the explorers must carefully consider each clue and make strategic decisions to narrow down the options. If they eliminate the platypus, the entire team loses. However, if they succeed in identifying the platypus four times, the game is won.

With 278 cards, no two games of Platypus will ever be quite the same, ensuring a fresh and engaging experience each time. This fun party game is suitable for 2 to 8 players aged 8 and older, with an average playtime of 30 minutes.

Overall, Platypus is a highly interactive and entertaining cooperative word game that will keep players laughing and engaged throughout. Its unique mechanics, wacky descriptions, and replayability make it an excellent choice for game night or any social gathering.
