About the game
The grey fins of the shark pack draw closer and closer, walruses prepare to attack, and the dark shapes of mighty orcas lurk around them all. Everyone is hungry and looking for tasty prey: The time is right for an Aqua Brunch! You will choose how lavish the banquet will be, but beware of the jellyfish because they might give you indigestion! In this card game, you must collect turn by turn the best combinations of predators and food. Each turn, players receive three cards — two face-up and one face-down — then they pass one card to their left-hand player until someone calls "Brunch". If you want to continue passing, you have to draw an aqua card (which usually grants penalties in the scoring phase). When all of the aqua cards are gone or everyone has agreed to "brunch", players start the scoring phase. Everyone then plays one of their score (food) cards; whoever played the strongest combination chooses one of the just played score (food) cards, then the next player chooses, etc. After six rounds, the game ends.

Questions and answers
Aqua Brunch supports 3–7 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 Aqua Brunch is 20 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 Aqua Brunch 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.
Aqua Brunch 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.
