About this board game

ito is a cooperative party game for 2–10 players that takes about 10 minutes to play. Each player receives a secret number between 1 and 100, then the group works together to place those numbers in order.

The challenge is that your number must remain secret. You cannot tell the other players your number directly, so you need to communicate your intentions through clues connected to the chosen theme.

As everyone shares their clues, the group must interpret what each player means and decide how the numbers should be arranged. The game turns different perspectives into the heart of play: do your friends understand the same themes in similar ways, or do your interpretations point in unexpected directions?

• Cooperative play: Work together toward a correctly ordered group of numbers.
• Secret numbers: Each player receives a hidden value from 1 to 100.
• Theme-based clues: Communicate without directly revealing your number.
• Quick play time: A game takes about 10 minutes.

ito is easy to explain while offering plenty of room for discussion, interpretation, and surprising differences in how people view the world. Listen carefully, compare the clues, and see whether the group can find the right order without exposing the secret numbers.
