Icarus (2015)

About this game

Designed by Reiner Knizia, Icarus is a game for three to seven players featuring a Liar’s Poker style bluffing mechanism. Push your luck by bidding the highest number against other players without being called out. How high can you fly?

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 7.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
