Bring the family together with a simple, screen-free game night

OFF TOPIC's Runs in the Family is a compact, travel-friendly board game designed to fit into busy evenings. Its design centers on quick setup and easy play: just pull a topic card and begin scoring by matching your answers with those of your relatives.
