About this board game

Visionary is a funny and dramatic dexterity game for 4–8 players, with play lasting about 60 minutes. Two teams compete to build a figure while one player on each team works blindfolded.

Each team selects a player to act as the constructor. With their eyes covered, that player must stack wooden components one on top of another, following the directions given by teammates. The goal is to recreate the specific figure shown on a card.

The blindfold creates the game’s central twist: the constructor cannot see the pieces or the developing structure. Teammates must guide the builder as the construction takes place, turning a seemingly simple stacking task into a coordinated team activity.

  • For 4–8 players
  • Approximately 60 minutes of play
  • Two competing teams
  • Two sets of 12 wooden pieces
  • Figure cards that show the construction target
  • A blindfolded constructor guided by teammates

When the round begins, both teams work toward their assigned figure. The first team to build the required shape wins the round, rewarding successful communication and careful handling of the pieces.

Released in 1997, Visionary combines team interaction with physical dexterity and a deliberately playful premise. Its blindfolded construction makes every round funny, dramatic, and dependent on how well each team can direct its builder.
