Each round in the guessing game INCOHERENT players find themselves in different settings telling stories to all other players who have to correctly guess the story's subject. It is a unique guessing game as:
During the game, the storyteller(s) must begin all stories with a designated sentence provided by a selected player. Whenever the assigned word is to be used in the story, the storyteller must use the replacement word instead in every sentence for others to guess. Describe the assigned word's color, shape and feature, with body language not being allowed.
Individual and battle modes are included in the game. In battle mode, the active player and other player are both storytellers, and they talk about two different words in two different stories for all other players to guess at the same time.
- Premise was pretty fun and interesting
- Very basic
- Not necessarily my style of game
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- word guessing — reading out cards, usually things that are a little unsavory that sound similar to a phrase, and the first person to guess what the actual phrase is gets the card.

Quotes (from this video)
- Hopefully these first impressions will clue you in to some games you might enjoy as well as saving you some money and time researching games that you may want to pass on.
- But without further ado, let's get started.
- Overall, not only does this game have gorgeous presentation, but it has a lot of elements of chunkier Euro style games that fit together very smoothly and I found that it is a fairly easy teach and play with a lot of complexity in the decisions that you make from turn to turn.
- Really, really love this one.
- If you have a chance to check out Orléans you're a fan of Eurogames, definitely don't sleep on this one.
- I'll definitely want to play it with more than two players before I give more thoughts on it, but I have to say that I'm very tempted, and this is rare for me, but I'm very tempted to just pay MSRP for this one so I can get it as soon as possible and try it with three, four, five because the two-player game was very interactive, very puzzly, and also didn't outstay its welcome as I found some trick-taking games with multiple rounds tend to do.
- So, although I'm very glad that I got to try it, this isn't necessarily one that I'm looking to add to my collection personally.
- So, there you have it. That is seven mini reviews of some new games that I got to try last month.
- Hopefully, these first looks can give you some ideas about whether or not these games are for you.
