Baronda is a board game released in 2023 for 2–5 players, 15–30 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by 荒尾 俊樹 (Toshiki Arao) and its main mechanics are Trick-taking.
Must follow trick taking game with simultaneous bids where you score points by taking at least as many tricks as you bid (if the total bid of all players is too high for everyone to take enough tricks) or no more tricks than you bid (if the total bid of all players is too low for everyone to duck enough tricks). In addition to the four normal suits, there are special Naga (higher than trump) and Pass (lowest) cards that can be played instead of following suit, and the 0 card of each suit is a super trump if played in the same trick as a Naga.
Baronda 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 Baronda is 15–30 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 Baronda 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.
Baronda has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
