Description

PinPoint is a 3-in-1 party game in which you must make clever use of comparisons in order to win. Here are the three ways to play:

1-100: The recommended starting game mode. Using a comparison of two extremes, one player gives a clue to help others guess a specific number between 1 and 100.

1-10: The best game mode to get to know other people. Teams of two players answer questions on a scale of 1 to 10 and win by answering the most similarly.

LEAST-MOST: The quickest game mode to learn. Vote which person or famous character is least/most likely to do something. Consistently pick the most popular answers to win.

Contents include: 28 Number Cards, 54 PinPoint Cards, 80 Character Cards, 8 Dry Erase Boards, 3 Game Mode Rulebooks, 1 Game Overview, 8 Markers, 1 Die, 8 Player Tokens.

Quotes (from this video)
  • It seems like whenever I do these where I kind of collect some reviews there's always one or two games where I'm like I think I'm wrong because everybody else seems to like it
  • It's just a really simplistic area control game and it's not it's balanced it's it's polished for what it is but it's also very very very very very very mediocre
  • Holy cow I really do not like this game
  • It takes longer to set this game up than it does to play it
  • This is one I think it could be good for me just not polished and developed enough
