Things in Rings is a fun party game based on logical deduction and inductive reasoning. At the heart of the game is a triple Venn diagram made up of three rings, each representing different hidden rules. Players try to figure out where their cards with various objects belong according to these rules. The theme is light, playful, and full of surprises, as the rules relate to object properties, word characteristics, or usage context (e.g., “found at a wedding,” “has more than 5 letters,” “is metallic”).

Place three rings in the center of the table to form a Venn diagram. One player is the Knower and knows the hidden rules for each ring. The others are Seekers. The Knower chooses three rules (one for each ring) that relate to:

• Attribute (physical properties),
• Word (linguistic characteristics),
• Context (usage context).

Players place object cards from their hands into the Venn diagram where they think they fit the rules. If correct, they continue; if not, the Knower moves the card to the correct spot. The goal is to get rid of all your cards. You can also play on overlapping areas or outside the diagram.

The game encourages laughter, creative thinking, and discussion. Perfect for family gatherings or larger groups who enjoy “guess the logic” style games. ⭕
