KuWizard • Разработчики хотели бы получить больше информации об этом предложении:
10 июл 2022 12:38 • And one more question for those who could see some words repeatedly: how many games have you played? I have a theory that in real life you cannot play more than 2-3 games meaning you can see 13*3 words. And also you always draw new cards for the next game. On BGA you can play 10-20 games per day easily which gives you 130-260 words. Which is roughly 1/4-1/2 of all words.
If my theory is correct - we definitely need more words in the list

Are all the words from the physical game in this edition?

CorgiPants • Разработчики хотели бы получить больше информации об этом предложении:
17 июл 2022 4:23 • Have never seen repeats within a single game, but I've seen quite a few repeats between games now and I've played maybe ~15 games total.

17 июл 2022 9:08 • I played 2 games and in my second game we had a repeat. We definitely need a longer word list or this game won't be very good for repeat players. I realise that this was a lucky (unlucky?) occurrence, but with 13 words per game and using the cards randomly you would expect to see repeats every 5 games or so. That's much too often.
If you play using the board game you don't have repeats because you will use new cards for each game rather than selecting randomly.
Is it currently possible to get the same word twice in the same game? Because I think that should be impossible and would consider it a bug (as opposed to this suggestion).

applegummy • Разработчики хотели бы получить больше информации об этом предложении:
21 июл 2022 2:00 • I see repeats between games. But based on the high volume of play in BGA I also agree the word list needs to be increased. especially as people hit rematch and you're playing with the same group of people again.

29 июл 2022 16:21 • I have played 10 games or less, definitely seen a few too many repeats, had skate come up 4 times, twice in a row just before which why I came to suggestions!
KuWizard • Разработчики согласны, что это хорошая идея, и будут работать над этим:
29 июл 2022 16:29 • I've sent the suggestion to increase the amount of words to the publisher. Not sure they will come up with that soon as they need to think about those words even if they will decide to add more.
Also rechecked how I randomise cards and words and all seems pretty legit. I tried to generate packs with 13 words ~7500 times which makes it 100000 words and the distribution was pretty solid. Each word appeared 170-200 times. So I think 4 repeats in 10 games might be ok (feels like a lot but plausible from a statistical point of view)

A bit of statistical analysis to bolster this:
In 10 games, you see 130 words. Each of these words can be randomly the same as each of the 117 words outside its own game.
This means we have 130*117/2 = 7605 potential clashes between games.
But each such pair only clashes with a probability of 1/550.
Since 7605 / 550 is about 14, we should expect about 14 repeats in 10 games. So 4 repeats is actually quite a bit below average.
(This surprisingly large number of expected repeats in a pool is known as the "birthday paradox" - because you only need 28 people in a room to have better than even odds of a shared birthday).

29 июл 2022 19:11 • My two cents of statistics after 17 games played myself:
3 words appeared in three of my games.
25 words appeared in two of my games.
131 words appeared in just one game of mine.
Big numbers don't seem biased, so I don't think the game has a particular problem with randomness.
However, I've seen in some games here and there some streaks of "what are the odds?" moments (like in Pandemic or Forbidden Island) which might pinpoint to the framework random seed used for all games. I think a few months ago there was a BGA announcement saying the random seed was gong to have an update, but I don't know if this has taken place or not.

This game really needs more words to be playable online.

4 авг 2022 11:20 • @Geomattics, regarding 3 consecutive appearances of same word:
With perfectly random selection from 550 words, the odds of seeing the same word in 3 consecutive games are about 1 in 140 (or perhaps a little less because we don't actually see the full 13 words in each game).
If you play long enough, it's bound to happen (as will a lot of other "what are the odds?" moments). I see you've played an impressive 84 games, so the odds of this happening sometime during your games are actually quite high.
Patterns and repeats are more likely than we intuitively think, and do not indicate a problem with the random generator.

4 авг 2022 17:49 • The problem isn't with the random generator but with the limited pool of possible words.
It's no big deal when a repeat happens and I'm playing with a different group of people on a different day since clues change, etc. This is, however, most annoying when the same group of people rematches 2 or 3 games in a row and gets a repeat. In one recent pair of games, we got a repeat and it was even the same person guessing that word as in previous game, which is just silly. Sure, it's an easy point to score, but it's not sa fun, and I think this game is more for fun than for points.
Yes, there is no way to completely get rid of this possibility, it's simple statistics after all, but it could be improved by widening the pool of words, or by adding an option to exchange a word as suggested in boardgamearena.com/bug?id=68193 -- that way when the same group of people gets a repeat they could vote to change it instead of just throwing the same boring clues at it.

14 авг 2022 19:39 • If this feature is added, I'd like to suggest an implementation.
In the table settings, have a drop down with the following options:
WORD LIST
- Original set
- Expanded set
- Themed set #1
- Themed set #2
Themed sets could potentially be added later, and would be things like "TV and movies", "geek culture", "adults only", etc (these are just ideas/examples). I've noticed that many players like to play with references, like "Gordon" for "Flash" or that guy from Harry Potter for "worm", and themed sets could be fun in this context.

The original game has 110 cards, each with 5 words to guess numbered from 1 to 5. That is 550 words.
Maybe there is a problem in the draw algorithm? It may not take into account all the available words?

aghagh • Разработчики согласны, что это хорошая идея, и будут работать над этим:
4 ноя 2022 21:56 • I confirm there are 550 words in the game, no more, no less. I've played with them all. It wasn't until my ~400 game or so that I got to play with the last one. I've kept track of the words from my finished games and they form a bell curve. After over 600 games, with my least played word I've played just 4 times, while with my most played word I've played 26 times.
For French I haven't played that much but I have read many game logs and collected ~520 words and I'm 1000% sure there are 550 words as well.
Even if I I upvoted this bug report myself at least a couple of months ago, I've learned to enjoy having the same set of words without any new ones (except for the "cornhole" replacement). Because there are a couple of meta-games that are actually really fun:
1) Clue polishing. Constantly trying to find better clues for every word in the pool by either research, own thinking or stealing them from other players. The goal is to have a great pool of clues to give for any word. And because players keep copying clues from each other, no clue is safe from clashing after a while, so this quest becomes like an eternal search for the holy grail.
2) Coming up with "smart" clues to challenge the guesser. The primary goal here is not to find the "optimal" clues to make the mystery word obvious (as above), but to give guessers the right ammount of challenge. These clues should not be too obscure (after all we all want the guesser to guess), just the right level of difficulty. This works great in 3-4p games with other experienced players because giving two clues allows for many interesting meta-clues.
In a nutshell: I understand why players ask for new words (like I said, I even upvoted it myself), but for me it's not a priority.

If that isn't the case, could a community-created and curated word list be added on as an option? Those that suggested themed word lists are definitely on the right track... why not just a massively expansive general word list?

Ciffy • Разработчики согласны, что это хорошая идея, и будут работать над этим:
26 апр 2023 23:12 • Would there be some way to globally randomize the list? ie, shuffle the list and when any game asks for a word, pull it from this full list? Then when the list is empty, refill it and re-randomize it. Would at least mean you'd see 550 words (globally) before the possibility of a repeat.
CheesePuppy • Разработчики согласны, что это хорошая идея, и будут работать над этим:
1 мая 2023 15:39 • Ciffy’s suggestion, right above me, is good. I’d like to add to it. If we were to do this, it would likely need to be an available words list for each player. Then when a game starts, this list for each player in the game would have to be “added” together before then picking random words for the game.

20 сен 2023 13:25 • I love Just One and your implementation on BoardGameArena. I've hit the issue of seeing words repeated with playing it so much offline.
There is an expansion but sadly it's only in German. boardgamegeek.com/boardgameexpansion/317124/just-one-neue-begriffe I know it would be an instant buy for me if they published it in English. I wonder if the publisher would consider a translation of that being offered as an additional word/card list?
There's also a fan expansion. boardgamegeek.com/filepage/223866/just-one-fan-expansion Potentially the publisher could be asked if they would be happy for that to be included? I've played with it a lot offline and I'd strongly recommend it. The only quirk is it has a small number of quite Australian words that are very difficult for those outside of Australia to guess and give clues for.
