El Ilustrado (2019)

About this game

El Ilustrado is a trivia game played in teams. There are theme cards with images. Each turn, teams draw theme cards and have two minutes to identify the images on them, such as, for example, car brands and models. Solutions are supplied on the backs of the cards, and for each correctly identified image, the teams score a point. There are different rounds with different rules. In one, teams pitch individual players against each other, in another, teams can force a theme on another team, and so on. The team with most points after 4 rounds is the winner.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 9.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 15 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
