Description
Just One is a cooperative party game in which you play together to discover as many mystery words as possible. Find the best clue to help your teammate. Be unique, as all identical clues will be cancelled!
A complete game is played over 13 cards. The goal is to get a score as close to 13 as possible. In case of a right answer, the players score 1 point. In case of wrong answer, they lose the current card as well as the top card of the deck. Thus losing 2 points. In case of lack of answer, the players only lose the current card, and therefore only 1 point.
You have the choice – make the difference!
Small Historical Point:
Originally, Just One was called We Are The Word and was published by Fun Consortium.
Repos Production bought the rights in early 2018 and adapted the game. The Sombrero-wearing Belgians decided to improve the quality of the components, add 50 new words, and change the name of the game. Following this new edition, the game went from having only a French edition to having a world-wide edition.

Quotes (from this video)
- I have found that hosting board game nights is an excellent way to get non-board gamers into the hobby, because after they've played some of these games with you, they immediately say 'I need to go get this game, I love this game, can't believe I've never heard of it'
- Our hobby is terrible at marketing itself to people outside of the hobby. Yeah once you get in, yeah you're golden.
- There are so many board gamers out there than I think any of us even know, and even more people who are just adjacent to the hobby.
- It's definitely not going to be for everyone, especially the charades part
- The game takes a backseat to the discussion between rounds
- You're actually better at this game if you can't draw well. The worse you draw, the more fun it is.
- It's just been something that's been on my mind a lot because I've been hosting some game nights at my workplace
- I'm the fun police, but in the opposite way - I want to bring the fun

- No talking or gesturing during clueing — Players cannot speak or use gestures; clues come from written words.
- One-word clues with deduplication — Each player writes a single word clue; duplicates are removed before guessing.

- optional pass — Guessers can choose to pass to avoid losing a card, impacting game length and risk
- score tracking — A tally at the end determines how well the team performed; emphasis on cooperation rather than winner-take-all
