Maudit Mot Dit is a board game released in 2022 for 3–6 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Nathalie Saunier, Rémi Saunier, and Laurent Prin and its main mechanics are Communication Limits.
Maudit Mot Dit is a game in which you will have to guess a word in a specific number of clues chosen for you! Be careful that it is not guessed too quickly, or not guessed at all! How to play ? A player secretly opens the box and discovers a word to be guessed with a precise number of clues. They give clues one by one so that their word is found with the right number of clues, no more, no less... If an opponent guesses the right word too early, they steal the points! Will you be able to turn around the word? The trick is to use the right number of clues to get the right word. For example with 3 players: Irma tries to guess the secret word Pisces with 4 clues. After saying "Astrology" and "Moon", she says "Tail" as the third clue. Felix suggests Pisces, the round stops immediately and he alone wins 3 points! —description from the publisher

The catalogue lists Maudit Mot Dit for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
