Announcing (eye) My Favourite Things - The New Edition From Play for Keeps

Play For Keeps are delighted to announce that a new edition of the much loved (eye) My Favourite Things is coming to Kickstarter this summer. You won’t know the value of your cards, but you will get to know your fellow players in this innovative Japanese trick-taking party game which follows in the footsteps of games like Cat in the Box, Scout, and Say Anything. Playable from three to six players, don’t miss the chance to pick up this wonderful little game.

‘It’s a game we’ve played again and again and again and enjoyed every time’
-Elaine and Efka, No Pun Included

‘An absolute gem’
‘This is one of the best party games there is’
-Jon Purkis, Actualol

Originally published in 2015, Eye My Favourite Things quickly garnered critical praise as an innovative hybrid game that combined party-game elements with simple trick-taking mechanisms. Relatively few copies have made it out of Japan, and the last time it was available to buy in Europe was at Essen 2018, where it sold out almost instantly.

In the game, you will present your neighbours with a category and ask them to write their five favourite (and one least favourite) things in that category on their cards. You’ll then use these cards to play a trick-taking game, not knowing the true value of any cards until the end of each trick. Because everyone is playing with someone else’s favourite things, each trick will provoke unique and interesting conversations - does Paul like Power Rangers more than Anthony likes Banana Milkshake or Archie likes Italian Disco? These are the judgement calls you’ll need to make in My Favourite Things.

Following the success of their first game - Overstocked, Play For Keeps will be launching a Kickstarter campaign for My Favourite Things later this year. This new English-language edition features new artwork, and deluxe components designed to improve usability.
