It's Obvious is a game in which you and your fellow players as apprentices of telepathy have
to co-operatively and secretly select different image cards from the center of the table.
In more detail you choose an image card on display that in some way has a connection to the
two image cards in front of you stating something like My choice is obvious! or It's a bit of
stretch or I'm going for the non-obvious card as I think someone else will pick it. You may not
give specific clues about what you have chosen or how it relates to one or both of the image
cards in front of you only a vague sense of how the choice feels to you. One more image card
is on display than the number of players and once you've chosen your target image you
indicate this choice on a numbered secret dial. Once all players have chosen they reveal their
choices. If you're the only one who picked an image then you take that image card and cover
one of the two images in front of you. If everyone chose different cards then you win the
round! If however not everyone chose different cards then you lose the round and everyone
who chose incorrectly draws a new image card at random from the deck to replace one of theirs.
Sweep any remaining image cards from the center then reveal the appropriate number of image
cards to start a new round. If you lose a round for the third time you lose the game if you
manage to complete a number of rounds (7-10) based on the player count before this happens
then you win! You can adjust the difficulty of the game in several ways to make it more or less
difficult.
