Pros
- Just One for a communication game.

- So all of my favorite co-op games feature some element of limited communication or simultaneous play - some examples are Mysterium, The Crew, So Clover, and Just One.
- The ease to get Just One to the table is what keeps it coming back to the table - with a wide variety of people too
- Parent context: Just one is a great game, but the thing is that all you need are white boards, markers and a word generator for Just One.. You are getting more when you buy So Clover. Reply: Ehhh, I love So Clover a lot but this is a lit...

Just One is good for large groups
