Abra Chadabra is a board game released in 2025 for 2–5 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Guillaume Labrousse and its main mechanics are Race and Push Your Luck.
In this competitive game, you try to obtain your magic diploma! Push your luck by making the first spell you learn in every standard magic school: making rabbits appear! But beware of the black cats and other magic objects. At your turn, you simply have to choose one card between four decks with different probabilities going from easy to chaotic. Abra Chadabra is created in partnership with the festival Alchimie du jeu of Toulouse for the 2025 edition whose theme is magic. A portion of the profits is donated to the festival for each sale of the game. —description from the publisher
Abra Chadabra supports 2–5 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 Abra Chadabra is 15 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 Abra Chadabra for ages 7 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.
Abra Chadabra 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.
