10 Negritos is a board game released in 2014 for 1–6 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Fernando Chavarria and Judit Hurtado and its main mechanics are Area Movement, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Cooperative Game.
Diez Negritos (translated as And Then There Were None) is a cooperative board game based on the Agatha Christie novel of the same name. In this game, players take control of a group of characters isolated in a mansion on a lonely island. The characters start getting murdered one after another, and players need to make groups with the characters and send them to different locations, either in the mansion or on the island, in order to discover clues and disclose the identity of the murderer. Players decide when to take advantage of each character's ability and cards, in addition to guessing who is necessary and who is dispensable. Ideally you'll reveal the killer's identity before time runs out — but not all of the players are what they seem to be and the murderer may have an unsuspected accomplice amongst your group. Will you be able to cooperate and unmask the killer and his accomplice before the last of the characters dies? Diez Negritos es un juego cooperativo basado en la novela homónima de Agatha Christie. En él tomaremos el control de un grupo de personajes aislados en una mansión de una solitaria isla. Poco a poco los asesinatos se irán sucediendo y deberemos ponernos de acuerdo para formar grupos con los 10 personajes y enviarlos a los distintos emplazamientos disponibles, tanto en la mansión como en la isla, para desvelar las pistas y así revelar la identidad del asesino. Tendréis que aprovechar la habilidad y las cartas de cada personaje, decidir cuales serán necesarias y cuales prescindibles y, con un poco de suerte, lograréis revelar la identidad del culpable antes de que se agote el tiempo. ¡Pero cuidado! No todos los jugadores son lo que parecen y tal vez el asesino tenga un cómplice insospechado entre vosotros... ¿Seréis capaces de cooperar y descubrir al asesino y su cómplice antes de que muera el último de los personajes?

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for 10 Negritos is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

The catalogue lists 10 Negritos for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
