Binomial is a board game released in 2020 for 1–7 players, 15–25 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Timofey Bokarev and its main mechanics are Betting and Bluffing, Pattern Recognition, and Bingo.
Binomial is a logic card game where players aim to get maximum victory points. Unlike russian loto or bingo, players decide for themselves which numbers to create (in the first phase of game) and for what postulate to use them (in the second phase of game). So Binomial has two phases. In first, the first player rolls dice 16 times, and from received 16 numerics players create numbers secretly from each other. Then players reveal up to 16 cards from the deck and choose most appropriate numbers from their own for announced postulates on cards. The game ends either when all 16 postulates are revealed, or when at least one player uses all of his numbers. The player with the most victory points is winner!
Binomial supports 1–7 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 Binomial is 15–25 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 Binomial 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.
Binomial 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.
