The Calibrators 2027

Words and their meanings are out of sync! Fast turtles, fiery snowmen, and tiny pyramids—anomalies appear every day. Working with the Attuner, the Calibrators must restore the word to their proper meanings before the world falls completely out of tune!

Calibrators is a cooperative game where you synchronize words with their meanings. Lay out cards featuring Concepts (such as dinosaur, New York, cactus, ninja). The Attuner builds a clue by placing Descriptor cards into the "This is" and "This is not" slots. Based on the clue, you identify the target Concept. For example, it is fresh, but it is not fast or noisy (correct answer: the cactus!). If you are correct, the world becomes more calibrated and the difficulty increases. If you get it wrong, the team loses one Energy token. Players take turns as the Attuner until the words are back in sync or all three Energy tokens are lost.
