Bamboozle (2023)

About this game

Talented gardener, you are about to realize the dream of your lifetime: work in the famous gardens of Saihõ-ji. But the Zen Master, guardian of the place, has chosen to confront you with an equally ambitious competitor. During a duel mixing ingenuity and trickery, be the smartest to reach the coveted position. The goal of Bamboozle is to be the first player to get three tokens in a row, matching the color of your objective. Otherwise you can win the game by being the player with the most tokens in the garden matching his objective.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
