After each turn, the other players must remove one or more characters from the table until only the right one remains and you win - or it is removed and you lose! Your goal is to make the other players guess one secret character (out of the twelve characters on display in the middle of the table) by playing other character cards from your hand as clues, stating whether they are similar to or different from the secret character.

Similo is a co-operative deduction game, and each version of the game - e.g., Fables, History, Myths - comes with a deck of thirty cards, beautifully illustrated by Naïade, showing the portrait and the name of a series of characters with a common theme.
