In a very, very remote jungle a group of sloths have gathered under the light of the full moon for the great dream party. During this celebration they will share an intense nap in which these experienced dreamers will perceive and handle 3 types of energy: Only those who manage to master these energies through the different stages of the dream cycle can aspire to become the next Master! Show the rest of the players that you live your dreams to the fullest! —description from the designer
5 More Minutes supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 5 More Minutes is 20–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists 5 More Minutes 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.
5 More Minutes has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
