What Makes Similo: The Card Game Stand Out
The official adaptation of Similo, the critically acclaimed cooperative guessing game illustrated by world famous artist Naïade. Play together with players from all over the world Online or locally with your friends in Local Pass & Play mode!
Similo: Animals is included! Play with 30 cards including Horse, Rabbit, Cat, Wolf, Deer, and many others: all your favorite pets from the farm, the forest, and more.
Similo: Fables and Similo: History are also available as in-app purchases, with more decks coming soon, and remember: you can also combine your decks for maximum fun!
In Similo, you have 5 rounds to help the other players find the Secret Card among the twelve shown. Play more characters as Clues, to suggest similarities or differences with the Secret Card. After each Clue, the other players must discard 1 or more characters from the roster. If they discard the Secret Card, you all lose! But, if the Secret Card is the only one left, you all win!
HOW TO PLAY
One player acts as the Clue Giver, the other players will be the Guessers. During their turn, the Clue Giver must play 1 Character from their hand as a clue, suggesting if they have something in common or something different from the secret character.
Then, the Guesser(s) must discard an increasing number of characters (1 on the first round, 2 on the second, and so on). If they remove the Secret Card, the game ends immediately and you all lose. If the Secret Card is the only one left at the end of the fifth round, you all win!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We have two of the decks at home and it became an interesting maranta favorite. We even took it with us to the restaurant. Love that it is a cooperative game and learning how people see similarities and differences is fun. No two games play out the same. We LOVE LOVE that we can play with friends and family or online with anyone. However, sometimes there is no one to play with, so a computer opponent would be fun as well. Really disliked the game crashing multiple times per game. We remedied this by deleting the app, restarting our phone, reinstalling the app and signing back in. Havent had it crash since. Not sure what the initial installation glitch is but our daughter had to do the same thing on her device.
We are super happy with the way this game works. Its easy and intuitive. Our 9 year old daughter was begging to stay up and play another round. We play this on board game arena but we enjoy having it on our phone. We pulled the cards out in a 3rd grade class for inside recess. We think it might be easier for the whole class to see on the smart board if we use the app. Anyway. We like it the price is very fair and we hope to see people continue to use the app and more people to be available for games.
Bought the app and there are zero players online. Whats a co-op game with no one to play with.
Short cooperative game that we play with the kids.
We bought the app and the bundle with our family, but for some reasons we cant see it on other devices. The support was not able to sort it out. Otherwise a game is great (we had already a hard copy).
Not that many coop card games at all, so glad this came out. Its fun and straightforward, so its easy to pick up and play.
