Alias, but with "adult", sometimes even naughty words. From the publisher: Describe the words you CAN NOT say, by saying things you SHOULD NOT! Team up with friends and use the clues you heard to guess rude words. Get as many as you can in just one minute... Late Night Alias is ideal for fully-grown adults who want to act like naughty-little children! With some very adult themes, and laugh-out-loud content, you should give rude clues if you don’t want to lose! But do you dare? The team with the most points wins. Includes card vault, game board, 6 colourful pieces, sand timer, pencil and 1800 words on 300 cards. Also has 100 BLANK cards so you can fill in your own filth!
Late Night Alias supports 4–12 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 Late Night Alias is 45 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 Late Night Alias for ages 18 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.
