ボブジテン (Bob Jiten)
Bob Jiten is a Japanese word game where players must guess hidden Katakana words without using Katakana words themselves—a challenging task for native speakers. One player knows the target word and guides others through descriptions. Correct guesses earn the moderator a point. If the moderator is caught using a Katakana word, the accuser gains a point and becomes the new moderator. The game uses a system similar to Insider, with artwork by Decoct Design.
This game falls under the category: Deduction, Party Game, Word Game.
