Touch It! Review: Quick Take with Tom Vasel

Description

In TOUCH IT!, players are asked: “How much do you trust your fingers to see?” No matter which of the versions you get your hands on (the newest of which include Marine Life, Dungeon Crawler, and [US] Pop Culture), players interact with an evocative theme that includes dozens of remarkable illustrations brimming with charisma. TOUCH IT! is a competitive party game that is fast, fast, fast: taught in seconds, a setup that is just a shuffle, and rounds that are even faster. Players are tasked with identifying the picture on the back of their card by touching its raised image made of UV gloss-a new level of tactility for board games! The game flow is as follows: (1) Draw your card (no peeking at the back); (2) Touch the back and guess which of the four images on the front is yours; and (3) Correct answers score you points, but being the fastest scores you more. This simple scoring system applies a certain pressure: push your luck and gamble to be the first to answer perhaps a bit quicker than you had wanted. Laugh with those at the table as you fumble and bumble when challenging your sense of touch with TOUCH IT!
