A board game with letters, numbers, and words that players use with a pointer, supposedly to communicate with spirits.
Combination of French 'oui' (yes) and German 'ja' (yes), created as a trademark in 1890. The name itself suggests affirmative answers from the supernatural realm.
Ouija boards are brilliant psychological toys—they work through the ideomotor effect, where people unconsciously move the pointer while believing spirits guide it, making them perfect demonstrations of how suggestion shapes perception.
