The game is language-independent. It includes rules in German.
That’s Not a Hat is a fun and fast-paced party game for 3–8 players that combines memory, bluffing, and social interaction in a simple yet surprisingly challenging format. Published by Ravensburger in 2023, it’s designed as the perfect game for parties, family gatherings, or relaxed get-togethers with friends.
In the game, players take on the role of “gift-givers,” passing cards with everyday objects—ranging from bananas and televisions to hats and muffins—back and forth. But here’s the twist: the cards are quickly flipped and passed along, making it difficult to keep track of who gave what. When someone says, “That’s not a hat!”, the game turns into a hilarious test of memory and confidence.
Players must remember which object is on each card, even as they are rapidly turned and passed around. When giving a card, a player must state what is on it—either telling the truth or bluffing. The recipient can accept the gift or challenge the statement by saying, “That’s not a ___!” If the challenger is correct, the other player gets a penalty point; if not, the challenger receives it. Players collect penalty points (cards), and the game ends when someone accumulates three. The player with the fewest points wins.
That’s Not a Hat is a witty and social game that turns a simple mix of memory and bluffing into unforgettable moments of laughter and fun. 🧠🎁🎩
