    I feel there is still life in it, like with Superfight. It encourages debating to the judge and pairs cards directly with each other granting more interaction.

    And if you count Dixit/Mysterium/Obscurio as a judge/committee pick game I would love to see more people take a stab at judge pick games

    But it is a shame Superfight seems to be dwarfed by other mass market games.

      Super fight is a fun spin on the genre, as it Dixit. Keep in mind they mix things up though, rather than rebrand apple to apples.

      Superfight doesn’t have a prompt to answer. It is pairing cards and having groups dictate.

      Dixit is actually something I’ve noticed people with autism enjoy. My cousin is autistic and we played a demo at a LGS and she loved it because she could pick the hint freely. She could tell a poem, or pick one word, or even a song. She loved mixing it up. So we got her a. Copy for Christmas with a couple expansion packs.

      She went to a group home with other autistic children a couple times a week to help with socialization. She took her game once and it was a very popular game. The workers there said everyone loved it.

      Both of those games introduce a twist to the genre. The change the rules. That’s what makes them fun. Whereas Mysterium and Obscurio I would say don’t fall into the genre because it’s not a judge of what card fits better. It’s a series of hints to an answer. Those games have a correct answer where others do not.
