About the Game

Baker, hairdresser, blogger, speleologist. In this fun party game, the goal is to make people guess the mysterious profession. The secret to winning? Never be too explicit!

Each competitor takes a marker and a slate. The X-Job papers are mixed and placed covered, in bunches, in the center of the table. The spinner is kept close at hand.

The oldest player begins the dealer's turn. He draws an X-Job card (without showing it to others) and turns the spinner which will determine, based on the color released, which will be the job to guess: if, for example, the color pink comes out, he will have to guess the job which in the paper is in correspondence of the pink color. If, after a spin of the spinner, the smiley face comes out, the dealer has the right to choose a trade of his choice, writes it on the slate and can decide to block an opposing player for a turn.

Then he will say aloud the key skills of the mysterious profession and, based on his experience, he will try to provide first clue about the mysterious profession to the other players, but trying not to be too explicit. Each player writes his solution on the slate (without being seen by the others) and then the answers are checked.

If no one guesses, the dealer gives a second clue and then a final clue. Scores are awarded based on the number of clues revealed. The dealer will earn points if only one of the players has guessed the mysterious trade.

The winner is whoever reaches 30 points first.
