Yogi

About this board game

Yogi is a physical party game for 3–12 players that takes about 20 minutes to play. Players reveal cards and contort their bodies in unusual ways, aiming to do better than everyone else while impersonating a pretzel.

On each turn, the active player reveals the top card from the deck. The card’s color determines how its instruction works, creating a growing challenge of balance, flexibility, and concentration.

• Red cards: Place or hold the card somewhere on your body as directed.
• Green cards: Leave the card on the table, but perform the action shown on it.

Green-card instructions can include keeping one thumb on your chin or having your hands touch. Red cards turn the cards themselves into part of the pose, while green cards keep the focus on carrying out the required position.

Keep going and stay flexible as more unusual instructions enter the challenge. The fun comes from seeing how long players can maintain their poses while navigating the next card and attempting to outperform the rest of the group.

Released in 2017, Yogi offers a simple, active format that is easy to understand: reveal a card, follow its instruction, and keep your body in the required position. Whether the result looks graceful or more like a human pretzel, every turn adds another test of flexibility.
