Overlap

Overlap is one of those games that looks straightforward until you start playing, and then you realize how clever it is. The rules take only a minute to learn, which makes it perfect for family nights or getting a group started quickly, but the strategy keeps you hooked. Every round feels different because you’re constantly trying to outthink the other players without overcomplicating things. I’ve played it with just two people and with a full group of eight, and it works surprisingly well at both ends. With two players it feels strategic and tight. With more players it turns into a fast, funny, slightly chaotic brain workout. I can also see why it’s a Mensa recommendation—the game really does make your brain fire without feeling like “homework.” The cards are sturdy, the design is clean, and rounds move fast enough that nobody loses interest. It also fits easily into a bag, so it’s great for trips. If you’re looking for a smart, simple, replayable game that works for both adults and families, this is a winner. It also makes a great stocking stuffer because it’s small, affordable, and universally fun. Highly recommend if you like games that mix quick thinking, light strategy, and lots of laughs.

Shipping was so fast. I needed a really cool, last minute birthday gift for my 10 year old nephew who is very into academic club, stem, card and video games. This box was approximately the size of a regular deck of playing cards. It has bright colors and graphics. I loved that it allows for group play and is educational. The value for money was excellent as it will allow for lots of playing time. It also doesn't take up much physical space for storage. The quality is better than expected. The game is learned quickly and you can progress in your skills by playing it often. It's also a Mensa award winning game as a bonus. Highly recommend it for the young genius in your life. Lots of fun too.

Takes a few hands to get the idea of the game, but once you do, it's a lot of fun. Simple for kids or can be quite strategic when played with adults. Cards are good quality.

I love this game!! it's so fun and easy to learn, i recommend reading the instructions then playing a "trial" game to really get the hang of it. The cards feel high quality and are pretty firm, so if you have smaller hands it may be harder to shuffle at first, but they are about the same size as a regular card. At first, the colors on the cards confused me. Then, I realized the purpose of them is to help visualize/identify the spots - what a smart and simple design!! 10/10 recommend.

Overlap is a winner for family game night. It’s incredibly easy to pick up and play, making it perfect for both kids and adults. The gameplay definitely reminds me of Uno, involving matching and strategy that’s fast-paced and engaging. It provides that same kind of lively, competitive fun that makes for a great family activity. ​My only note is about the deck itself: the cards are smaller than standard size, and a little harder to shuffle which is something to keep in mind, but it doesn't detract from the fun. This game is a must-have for a quick, enjoyable game night! ​

Very fun game, the perfect size to pack and carry everywhere. Good quality. We loved it

My son loves this game (9). I thought it was a little boring but he is very into it and asks to play all the time. The concept is easy for all ages. Just match -or don’t match- the squares and try to get rid of your cards. It would be a little more fun with more of the penalty cards or maybe we just need a larger group (have only played with 3 people). A tin for storage would be better

Great card game to play with kids while yet challenging Similar to Uno, easy to learn
