That's You!

We recently featured Social Ladder (Hot House Games) on Board's Eye View. That's a party game with cards where players rank each other on various characteristics. That's You! from Tabletoys Games treads similar territory. It too is a party game where players are ranked against each other on various criteria but That's You! is a generally lighter game. Like, Social Ladder, it invites discussion and debate, but That's You! is a fully cooperative game.



Designed by Yusak Arief Jatmiko and Arya Wirahadi, That's You! is in fact a reimplementation of KEPO, which was originally published in 2021 by Memento Craft and OnMeja Games. That's You! comes with a massive 200 'trait' cards, and these are all double-sided. They vary from mainly positive purely descriptive terms (for example, 'a sharp dresser' and 'loves spicy food') to mostly silly or fantastic hypotheticals (for example, 'tames lions in their spare time' and 'wanted by several foreign governments'). The game works with both card types but it feels lighter and potentially less 'personal' if you play with the hypotheticals. For those wanting a spicier experience, there's a small 'adult expansion' that adds cards that we'd have to classify as NSFW (Not Safe For Work).



Each round one player takes on the role of Clue Giver. Six cards are placed out and the Clue Giver assigns a token to each that shows a tick or a cross on its reverse. It's the card with a tick that is the card that the other players have to guess and to that end the Clue Giver hands out tokens to the three players that are 'most likely', 'least likely' and 'more likely' or 'less likely' to demonstrate that trait. Players then debate and collectively decide which traits to eliminate with the aim of narrowing them down to the single most applicable. Players collectively score for each trait card correctly eliminated.


The game takes 4-8 players but we've enjoyed it most at higher player counts where not every player is given a 'likely' token and so deductions can also be made based on who has been omitted. Like most good party games, the fun of the game is in the playing rather than the scoring. We've found in our plays that more often than not we've ignored the relatively fiddly scoring track and just enjoyed That's You! for the deduction and debate - especially playing with the tongue-in-cheek hypothetical cards.
