About the game
Is there anything that is equally square and non-stop, a bit absurd and hugely creative, extremely entertaining, but not washable at all? There is, and it is the PERFECT MISMATCH! In Perfect Mismatch, players take turns explaining words to each other using pairs of mind-blowingly disparate attributes as hints. This game will test your associative thinking and ability to understand each other. Share plenty of laughs while discussing hilarious attribute combinations and the associations they trigger! Players take turns to become the leader. Using a special tablet with cubes, the leader tries to explain their secret word to the others, evaluating it according to various completely incompatible parameters. At the same time, others try to guess the word and vote for the correct answer as quickly as possible. Players get points by both explaining and guessing the secret words of the task cards. —description from the publisher

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Perfect Mismatch for ages 9 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
