Barnes & Noble has spoken: Asmodee’s Wavelength is its 2022 Game of the Season. 

Wavelength is a game where two teams attempt to read each other’s minds. One player from a team has to guide their teammates to the hidden target using only clues based on a spectrum like hot to cold or good and bad. The closer teams get to their unknown target, the better they score overall. 

“Wavelength is a marvelous mind game perfect for family gatherings, parties, and game nights of all sizes, and we couldn’t be more excited to announce it as our Game of the Season,” says Senior Director of Toys and Games Marnie Lawrence. “This two-team game is both easy to learn and sure to stir up some friendly competition among players, and has garnered two thumbs up from our booksellers!”
