About the game
Camouflage is a pattern matching speed game with multiple modes of gameplay! This includes a solo puzzle mode! (The entire game is also color blind friendly) Nature is the world's greatest trickster! Be prepared for your eyes and mind to be tested, as you push them both to their limits! Focus your effort to spot the matches and the best point combinations, but don't take too long because, just as in nature a split second can mean the difference between life and death! Here, it is the difference between victory and utter defeat! Players will each select a set of six cards that they will then play as quickly and as strategically as possible. This game does not have turns and therefore the players must balance taking the time to find big point combos while at the same time making certain that they have a chance to play all of their cards! This the perfect game for all ages in that it has incredibly simple concepts but because of the time factor the game is always a challenge. Even young kids can play against each other. Solo Play Puzzle Mode- If competing on a time factor isn’t for you then you will probably love our solo play puzzle mode! each puzzle will give you a list of specific cards that you can use. You will also be given an outline that you must then create by matching the patterns on the cards correctly! —description from the designer

Questions and answers
Camouflage 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 Camouflage is 5 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 Camouflage 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.
Camouflage has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
