Biddle is a board game released in 2025 for 2–5 players, 25–35 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Ralf zur Linde and Carsten Rohlfs and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Team-Based Game, and Predictive Bid.
Each round in Biddle, players are presented with a challenge of what must be rolled on six dice, say, two three-of-a-kinds, a sum of less than 12, or four 3s and two 5s. The first player states how many rolls of the dice they think will be sufficient to satisfy the challenge. Each subsequent player either calls the bid, undercuts the bid (by proposing a lower number of rolls), or drops out of the bidding phase, believing that the challenge can't be met in the stated number of rolls. Once at least one person has dropped out and all players are divided into two teams, the players who have made the bid try to satisfy the challenge. If they do, they score points; if not, the doubters score. The game lasts ten rounds with the points escalating over time. You can score both for doubting and for completing challenges, and in the end whoever has scored the most points wins.
Biddle 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 Biddle is 25–35 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 Biddle 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.
Biddle has a complexity rating of 1.1 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.
