The Op Games Revives Award-Winning Party Game Anomia for a New Generation

The Op Games, a renowned publisher of board games and puzzles, is thrilled to announce a fresh new release of the beloved party game Anomia. Originally launched in 2009, Anomia has secured its position as a fan favorite, selling over two million copies and winning multiple prestigious awards, including the MENSA Select Award and recognition as one of the Best Party Games at the UK Games Expo.

A Game That Brings People Together

Anomia's appeal lies in its simplicity and the thrilling pressure it creates. Designed for 3-6 players aged 10 and up, the game is a fast-paced card game that pushes players to think quickly. When two players have matching symbols on their cards, they must race to name something from the category on their opponent's card, which can range from food items to popular songs. The game's straightforward premise, combined with the frantic action of racing against your friends’ responses, makes it a dynamic activity for gatherings of all types.

The exhilarating design is not just about speed; wild cards add an element of surprise, introducing unexpected twists that can change the outcome of the game. Losing a card can trigger a series of matchups that keep players on their toes, ensuring that the fun never really slows down. Perfect for family game nights, college ice-breakers, or any gathering, it’s easy to see why Anomia has remained popular for over a decade.

An Updated Look for a New Audience

The Op Games is excited to introduce an updated version of Anomia, which will retail for $17.95. This refreshed release retains the core mechanics that fans know and love while featuring a brand new look to attract a fresh audience. The game will be available on platforms like Amazon and various retail stores, broadening accessibility for fans and newcomers alike.

Dane Chapin, CEO of The Op, stated, “Anomia has been a classic party game for over 15 years now, so we feel especially lucky to be able to give it a refresh and introduce it to a brand new audience.” His excitement resonates with the company, which has a vision of bringing fun and engagement to family and friends through games.

Andrew Innes, the original game designer from Anomia Press, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration with The Op. “I’ve been continually amazed by Anomia’s success, and I'm thrilled to partner with The Op to introduce it to a new generation of friends and families! It’s a natural fit with The Op's line of party games,” he mentioned, highlighting the synergy between the two companies.

David Blanchard, Director of Party/Family Games at The Op, shared a personal connection to Anomia, stating, “I bought my first copy in 2012, and it’s been played more than any other game in our house. It’s one of my all-time favorites and an absolute honor to add it to our line of evergreen party games.” His passion for the game showcases the dedication The Op has toward continuing the legacy of Anomia.
