The Op Games Releases Newly Refreshed Party Game Anomia

Available Now, The Award-Winning Fast-Paced Card Game is Back with an Updated Look

CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Op Games, the board game and puzzle publisher behind iconic licensed games and best-selling party games Telestrations®, Blank Slate™, Hues and Cues™, The Original Tapple®, and Flip 7™, today announced that its updated version of the 2009 award-winning party game, Anomia, is officially available now. Following a partnership announcement in February, fans can now enjoy the newly refreshed fast-paced card game nationwide.

With over 2 million copies sold since its inception in 2009, Anomia has spent more than 15 years putting quick-thinking skills under pressure to the test every game night. Now, The Op is introducing Anomia to a new generation of players with a bright, colorful update to packaging and card design, ensuring it will be a game that is reached for decades to come.

As a MENSA Select Winner (2010), ASTRA Best Toys for Kids Winner (2010), and UK Games Expo - Best Party Game Winner (2014), Anomia is a simple, fast-paced game designed for 3-6 players ages 10+. Players flip cards until the symbols on two players' cards match, then matching players race to give an example of the category on their opponent's card - from things to eat and pop songs to websites, dog breeds, and more. It sounds easy, but players find that their brains work a little differently under pressure! To make things even more exciting, wild cards are also in the mix to create unexpected matches, and the simple act of losing a card can set off a chain of cascading face-offs. Endlessly replayable and quick to learn, Anomia makes for the perfect college ice-breaker, family game night addition, or holiday party entertainment.

"This partnership has been months in the making, and we couldn't be more excited to officially put this refreshed edition of Anomia into players' hands," said Dane Chapin, CEO of The Op. "Anomia has everything we love in a party game. It's easy to jump into, always makes for shared laughter around a table no matter who you play with, and no two games play out quite the same. We're thrilled to help introduce it to a whole new generation."

"I couldn't be more thrilled about this next chapter in Anomia's life!" Said Andrew Innes, Game Designer. "The team at The Op has brought so much energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to the game, and it's been an absolute pleasure working with them. I love the new design! It feels fresh and vibrant while still retaining the high-intensity hilarity that Anomia is so well known for. Seeing this new edition out in the world is incredibly exciting!"

Designed for 3-6 players, ages 10+, Anomia (MSRP: $17.95) is available now on Amazon and in select brick-and-mortar stores.
