Gameception is a board game released in 2017 for 2–10 players, 5–5000 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by James Woodward.
Tired of having to choose what game to play? Why not play more than one at the same time? Sure, those other games are great. That's why Gameception wants you to continue playing those while you play it. It's the game that plays all day. From "The Singer", which says "If someone else sings a song" to "The Power Gamer", which says "If someone else tells a player what to do on their turn." Get someone to slip up and score your card! Draw a new card each time you score one and at the end of gameday tally all the cards you scored. Winner is the one with the most cards.
Gameception supports 2–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Gameception is 5–5000 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Gameception for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Gameception belongs to these categories: Card Game and Party Game. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules. Filter the catalogue by the same category to find similar games when you enjoyed Gameception and want something comparable for your next game night.
The credited designers of Gameception are: James Woodward. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Gameception as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
