About the game
ARTBOX is a game in which each player becomes a modern artist. Each game round is a competition of trying to depict your word using just several shapes. Players will also have to challenge their deduction, trying to guess what their opponents tried to depict. Quick Rules. • Each player takes 2 Word cards and secretly chooses one, the other is placed to the bottom of the deck • The facilitator rolls dice and places them on the Shape cards • Each player draws their chosen word using the shapes rolled • The first player to finish takes the #1 token, the next player — #2, and so on • The facilitator takes each player’s Word card face-down, adds random cards from the deck and shuffles. Then he/she places them face-up near the drawing board • The facilitator takes each player’s drawing face-down, shuffles them and places them face-up near the designated numerated areas on the board • Players match words with drawings. They secretly note their guesses • The first player to finish turns the sandglass upside down. After the time runs out, no one can take notes anymore • The facilitator checks drawings one by one and writes a number of players, who guessed right, on each drawing • A player with the most guessed drawing gets the first Victory token. In case of ties, the winner is a player with the lower number. A player can’t gain 2 Victory tokens during the same round. • The second Victory token goes to a player who guessed the most drawings. In case of ties, the winner is a player with the most guessed drawing. In case of another tie, it’s a player with the lower number. • Players check the endgame condition. If it’s not met, the next player clockwise becomes the facilitator. The new round begins. -description from publisher

Questions and answers
ARTBOX supports 3–8 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 ARTBOX 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 ARTBOX for ages 14 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.
ARTBOX has a complexity rating of 1.2 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.
