Over-Rated is a board game released in 2020 for 3–20 players, 30–90 minutes per game, and ages 17 and up. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Player Judge.
Overrated is the party game in the style of Cards Against Humanity. One player is the judge and draws a location card. All other players play a card with a review on it that they think is the best review for the location. The judge selects the best review, giving the location card as a point to whoever played the best review. The position of judge then rotates to the left and the process continues. The first to win five location cards wins! Content: Contains 150 “Location” cards, 350 “Review” cards, and instructions.
Over-Rated supports 3–20 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 Over-Rated is 30–90 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 Over-Rated for ages 17 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.
Over-Rated has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Over-Rated belongs to these categories: Card Game, Humor, and Party Game. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Player Judge. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The catalogue lists Over-Rated 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.
