Do Great Minds Think Alike?

My husband and I got together with some good friends of ours and had a game night and they introduced us to a new, totally fun game called Compatibility!

 This game is about getting in sync with your spouse and makes you think about how the other person would answer. 

For this game you play in teams with your spouses but you can't sit next to each other. We all sat across the table from our spouse so we couldn't see what cards each other chose.



Each person has a deck of picture cards. Each deck has the same set of pictures. There is also a deck of word cards with words like "marriage", "black", "happy", and "pimple."

A word is chosen and each player chooses 3-5 cards from his/her deck. Teams score points for choosing the same pictures, and score extra points for putting the pictures in the same order (from most to least important.)

The board is used to keep track of the score and the first team (couple) to the end wins.

We were laughing all night long at each others answers. A lot of our answers were very different from our spouse but many of them we were the same and sometimes in the same order.



It was such a fun night and we defiantly want to get together to play again soon!

I highly recommend buying this game and playing with all your friends. It was so much fun to see how "compatible" my husband and I and it really tested us (in a good way!)

The sad thing is, it isn't in production anymore and I can't figure out why! If you find some friends who do have it, definitely play it with them or buy it off of them because it's worth it!
You can also find the board game on Amazon or Ebay from those who are selling it. The prices range from $16.99 to $72.00.

Check out some reviews from other players!

"This in one of our favorite games to play with other couples. It is a ton of laughs and you get to know friends from a different perspective. I wish it was still in production. We would give it as gifts if it was still available."

"Bought this game after having played it with some friends, and was happy enough to purchase my own copy. Its a great and fun way to see how well you think alike with your partner or friend or family member, and i look forward to playing it alot in the future."

"We've had Compatibility for years and played it with all sorts of groups of friends and family. It's creative but not overly competitive, and just a lot of fun when it comes to explaining just why the old man on the beach or the all black card is a metaphor for "prsoperity" or something like that. The game we just got is an updated version with some new cards, so that's a fun challenge for us. Try it, you won't be disappointed."
