Cute art, a solid concept, and fun mechanics? Allplay’s newest game, French Toast, sounds like it’s a total package for a “thinky” party game. With simple rules, French Toast prioritizes getting straight to the fun.
In each game of French Toast, one player acts as the Toastmaster, drawing a Secret Word that you and your friends have to guess. The catch? The Toastmaster may only communicate by repeating your guesses back to you! Each time someone makes a guess, the Toastmaster must decide whether that guess is “closer” to their Secret Word than the “closest” previous guess. If the new guess is closer, the Toastmaster repeats it back to you. If the new guess isn’t closer, the Toastmaster repeats the closest previous guess instead. Keep making clever guesses to get closer and closer to the Secret Word, until you can guess the Secret Word itself! What makes one guess “closer” to the Secret Word than another? It’s completely up to Toastmaster! They can use whatever criteria they think will help you guess the Secret Word- and hopefully the rest of you can figure it out!
French Toast comes in a tiny box, but it packs a whole lot of excitement- releasing this week, it will retail for $20(+tax). If you would like a copy preordered for you, let us know here. Happy guessing-games to one & all!
