About the game
In this two-player game, players line up four turtles in a row and lay out ten black and ten white balls. The turtles are two-sided and have a different number of holes on each side, although always an odd number. On a turn, a player either takes a ball of any color, places it on an empty hole on a turtle, and moves that turtle one space forward in line (assuming it's not at the front) or moves one of his balls already on a turtle backward to a different turtle, leaving all turtles in the same locations. The game ends when all the holes are filled, and the winner is the player who has the most balls on the turtle at the head of the line.

Questions and answers
Apagos supports 2 players 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 Apagos is 5 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 Apagos 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.
Apagos 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.
