Description Edit | History

1320 terms from diverse domains such as music, cinema, literature, geography, history, and many others have been twisted by using synonyms, antonyms and logically related words to form a new expression called a Contrario. Players will need to use their lateral thinking ability and general knowledge to outsmart their friends. Virtually all the original expressions are familiar. It's obvious . . . . . once you've got it. Each Contrario comes with two clues to nudge players in the right direction. Now, can your mind handle the twist?
