description So Clover! Overview
Shared interpretation drives So Clover!, a cooperative word-association game published by Repos Production in 2021 for three to six players. Each participant arranges keyword cards on a clover-shaped board and writes single-word clues connecting the pairs of words along its edges. The cards are then removed, leaving the clues as the team's guide to reconstructing the original arrangement. Players take turns watching silently while the others discuss their board and try to place the cards correctly.
Everyone creates clues, rather than one person serving as the only clue-giver throughout the game. The challenge comes from finding a useful connection between unrelated words and then understanding another person's reasoning. It suits families and party groups that enjoy language puzzles and conversation, with success depending on collective deduction rather than defeating another team.
