5x15 is a board game released in 2020 for 1 player, 10–20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Friedemann Friese and its main mechanics are Modular Board, Slide / Push, and Pattern Building.
5x15 is a solo, free, print & play game from Friedemann Friese, inspired by the solitaire "Montana". Your goal is to sort 75 number tiles, consisting of five colors and values from 1-15, in a play area of 5 rows and 15 columns (hence "5x15"). You win, if you create single-colored rows with ascending numbers from 1-15. —description from the publisher
5x15 supports 1 player according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for 5x15 is 10–20 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 5x15 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.
5x15 has a complexity rating of 1.5 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.
5x15 belongs to these categories: Number, Print & Play, and Abstract Strategy. Its main mechanics are Modular Board, Slide / Push, and Pattern Building.
