Berried Treasure is a board game released in 2021 for 2–5 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Rob Daviau, Justin D. Jacobson, Sid Sackson, Noah Cohen, and Brian Neff and its main mechanics are Take That and Open Drafting.
Berried Treasure is a fast-paced, highly-interactive game of hungry critters grabbing as many delicious baked treats as they can. Take a card from the tableau and add it to your stash. If you take a "Moar" card, you get to grab an extra card. If your card has "grabby paws", steal cards from another player's stash. Different treats score different points each round with one big twist: If you tie with another player, you both end up with nothing. Restored from the Sid Sackson classic, Buried Treasure (1992). —description from the publisher
Berried Treasure 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 Berried Treasure 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 Berried Treasure 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.
Berried Treasure 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.
