Platformer (2023)

About this game

Plaformer is 2-4 player miniature Board Game introducing light, competitive gameplay that you have never seen before! Climb on platforms, fight monsters, gather gold / points / items and most importantly - race with your friends! This Board Game brings light, extremely FUN experience for family and friends - prepare for tons of laughs and cunning against your opponents! Platformer is centered around a very simple Gravity Mechanic. During your turn, you climb up – but when your turn ends, you fall down, until you hit a platform or a ladder. Race to the top and try to keep with your opponents! There’s no one big map in the box. From the cards, you create a new map in every single game. Also, the map has many levels and from the start, you see only one of them. Every move you may make is determined by the dice. After rolling it you see how many and what moves you can do. You don’t enjoy your result? Don’t worry! Each die may be rerolled once! Back to the actions, it might be a jump, move one space, getting a gold coin, and moving or attacking the monsters. In general, you do not only have to play smart but a little luck is needed too!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
