Watch “Orb or Void – Game of Sneaky Hands and Sharp Minds | Classic Persian Party & Family Tabletop Game,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Joy Snapshot on YouTube:

Orb or Void is a traditional Persian group game know as Gol ya Pooch (گل یا پوچ) in Iran. The game involves two competing teams. In each round, one team secretly hides and passes the "Orb" to a team member's hand, ensuring the opposing team cannot see its final location. The opposing team has a limited time to determine which hand contains the Orb. They can void empty hands and use help cards for assistance. As the game progresses, players develop tactical strategies to outwit each other in hiding and guessing the Orb’s location. This engaging game never loses its excitement and enhances critical thinking and communication skills. It also strengthens teamwork and fosters cooperation among players.

About Orb or Void, from BoardGameGeek:

Orb or Void is an exciting team-based game of strategy and perception, inspired by a classic Persian game (known as gol ya pooch - گل یا پوچ). In Orb or Void, you must find the Orb hidden in the opposing team's hands within a preset time. You can void hands you believe are empty and/or use help cards. If you fail to find the Orb, the opposing team earns 1 point. If you find the Orb, you take it for the next round but earn no points. However, if you find the Orb in a one-shot guess, you gain 2 points and the Orb. Once a team passes 8 points, they enter the Super Orb Round. The team that wins this final round and earns the last point becomes the game's winner. Perfect for families, friends, and parties. Designed for 2-8 players, ages 7+, each round is filled with quick thinking, teamwork, and thrilling reveals. -description from the publisher
