Using your controller, decide the amount of energy you would like to spend on the current Trial. Each trial is different and you will have to be in sync with your teammates to go the distance and win the most Medals after 10 Trials.

8Bit Box: Stadium supports 4–6 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 8Bit Box: Stadium is 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 8Bit Box: Stadium for ages 10 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.
8Bit Box: Stadium has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
