About the game
Amazones is a bidding game for 3-5 players, designed by Lili-Phèdre la Pipesse. Players take on the role of amazons attempting to recruit the most attractive men by bidding on human body parts (head, upper body, lower body). Whoever has the most attractive men in their harem wins the game. Illustrations are by Cruela Brisfon and the game was to be published by Editions Lui-Même sometime in mid-February 2006.

Questions and answers
Amazones supports 3–5 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 Amazones is 30 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 Amazones 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.
Amazones has a complexity rating of 1.1 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.
