ANLUDIM is a board game released in 2020 for 2–5 players, 30–45 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Ludovic Maublanc and Dimitri Perrier and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Pattern Building.
Anludim is a familial card combinations game in a magic universe. This game is about matching cards to create combinations (straight, flush, pair, three of a kind, four of a kind) to attract the attention of the teachers and get a lot of magical items. The cards are from 1 to 13 in 5 colors. The cards are dual (2 different numbers and colors on a card) and you can use the orientation of your choice in order to form combinations. Each teacher is tied to a combination. At your turn you have to play one mandatory action : play cards (straight, flush…) or draw. You can also play a bonus action : put an item back to the general supply to draw one card. At the end of your turn you get one magical item for each teacher in front of you. You play turn after turn until one of two events occurs : 1/ you empty 3 stacks of magical items, you count points of the magical items and the higher score gets to level up your coven. 2/ you get one item of each type, no matter the points of the items, you level up your coven. The first player to level up twice his coven wins the game. -description from publisher
ANLUDIM 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 ANLUDIM is 30–45 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 ANLUDIM 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.
ANLUDIM has a complexity rating of 1.8 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.
