![]() ![]() Adding a few more props would go a long way to increase replayability. While the game is fun, there are a few things that In The Palm of Your Hand could stand to do better. That should not be a deal breaker for anyone, however, as there is a lot of fun to be had here regardless. That being said, the less creative types might have a harder time playing In The Palm of Your Hand by being put on the spot and struggling to come up with ideas. These props bring with them lots of replayability and creativity that goes as far as the players can imagine and take it. What sets In The Palm of Your Hand apart from other games that have similar feels, such as Dixit, would be the bag of props that players use to demonstrate their cards, or ‘memories’ as it were. Whichever team has the most points when the game is over wins. Teams score points based on the amount of cards they guessed correctly and for each of the misleading cards they placed that were chosen by opposing teams. This process goes back and forth until all players get to take on the role of the grandparent. The grandparent must now pick the two cards that the grandchild used out of the eight. What makes the deduction element here more fun and challenging is that after players use the items on the grandparent’s hand, the other team gets to place extra cards into the hand to make a total of eight cards. After the teams decide who is who, the grandparent closes their eyes while the player in the role of the grandchild uses objects in the game box to depict a couple of cards from the game, helping the grandparent “relive” a memory through deduction. Each team, yes the game is played in teams, has a person who takes on the role of the grandparent and at least one person that takes on the role of a grandchild. The roles themselves intertwine with the story and gameplay aspects of In The Palm of Your Hand. In order to relieve memories of said grandparents, players each take on individual roles within their respective teams: grandchild and the aforementioned grandparent. ![]() What all does this mean? Well for starters, the theme of the game involves reliving the memories of a grandparent. This uniqueness comes from the form of a team based game that requires one player to relay information to another without seeing what the other is doing. In The Palm of Your Hand, which is published by Le Boîte De Jeu and distributed by Hachette Board Games, presents a unique take on tactile games. One of the latest bush birds to hit my table is In The Palm of Your Hand. That however does not stop many of us from indulging in what is new, what is fun, and what is the newest game with the newest gimmick. I am sure we have all heard that phrase at one point or another in our lives. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. ![]()
