The Ravensburger That's Not A Hat Pop Culture party card game is a fast-paced bluffing and memory game for 3 to 8 players.

The game includes 110 illustrated cards featuring characters and items from movies, TV, and music, plus 30 special interaction cards. Rounds last about 15 minutes, making it ideal for family game nights, parties, or travel. It's easy to learn and suitable for ages 8 and up.

How does the memory and bluffing mechanic work?

Players take turns receiving a card from the player on their left. The receiver must correctly name the object on the card they just received, not the one they passed on. If they get it wrong, they earn a penalty point. When you don't remember, you bluff – confidently name an object you think might be on the card. If other players call your bluff, you may earn extra penalty points. The player with the fewest penalty points after all rounds wins.
