Ravensburger That's Not a Hat - Party Games for Kids and Adults Age 8 Years Up - 3 to 8 Players

This Ravensburger “That’s Not a Hat” party game is a brilliantly simple concept that turns into surprisingly chaotic and hilarious fun very quickly, making it a great choice for families, mixed-age groups, or casual game nights. The gameplay is very easy to learn in minutes, which is a big strength. Players pass cards face down while trying to remember what they “gave” or “received,” but as the round progresses, memory quickly becomes unreliable and bluffing often becomes the only way to avoid penalties. This creates a lot of laughter and light-hearted accusations, especially in larger groups. It works particularly well as a filler game because rounds are short (around 10 minutes), so it’s easy to play multiple times in one sitting. The compact box also makes it ideal for travel, holidays, or bringing out quickly at gatherings. What makes it enjoyable is how quickly things unravel — even confident players often end up second-guessing themselves, and the game naturally creates funny moments rather than serious competition. If I had one minor downside, it would be that it’s quite repetitive after several plays in a row, and it really depends on group energy. It shines with the right crowd but may feel a bit too simple for players who prefer deeper strategy games. Overall, this is a quick, entertaining party game that delivers a lot of laughs for very little setup, and it works best as a light, social game rather than a long-term strategy experience.

Great fun, it's harder than you'd think which makes it super funny and entertaining! It's easy to understand the rules, easy to play, great value for money, and the box is nice and small.

Great game to play with adults and children alike!

This is such a simple game and really cheap to buy, but had brought us hours of fun playing as a family wherever we go due to its small size making it very portable You quickly forget what everyone has and it becomes a hilarious game of bluffing as you battle to not get caught out. As all the cards are picture cards, it’s suitable for all ages too!

That’s not a hat is a fast paced memory game of remembering a number of simple pictures as cards more around the table face down. It’s one of those games that you will either love or hate! Cards have clear simple line drawings of everyday objects and everyone is dealt one. Everyone reveals their card and then places it face down. Another card is drawn from the top of the deck revealed and then given face down to a player. This player passed their oldest card to the left or right depending on the arrow on the back and says ‘this is a telephone’ the next player accepts this and so it carries on or calls them out with the loser of the call keeping the card as punishment. Easy to learn, fun and a great price. It will be too stressful for some people though so bear that in mind.

Fun family game. Lots of laughs.

Great party game. We were invited to a party last minute and wanted to take a game along thay could be played by all ages. This had good reviews and we weren't disappointed.

Difficult game. Hard to remember what has gone before. Not as much fun as I hoped.
