Want to create the best festival camp ever? This is your chance – but watch out or you might end up camping with your mother...again! The summer is hot and it is yet again time for a mind-blowing week at Roskilde Festival. This year is going to be greater than ever. In Camp Roskilde, the players set up their camps next to one another as they start attracting cool and crazy people from the festival grounds. Having the best camp is all about getting the right vibe – "that special something" – generated by the people in the camp. Will this year have a green hippie vibe, a black metal vibe, a red crazy vibe or a blue sophisticated vibe to it? Or perhaps the right mix of all of the above? In game terms, players take turns sending festival-goers and gear from "The Festival Grounds" (four available face-up tiles) to either their own camp (player board) or the other players' camps, and carrying out any effect the tiles might have. When, at the end of a player's turn, any camp is filled with nine tiles, the game ends and the player with a perfectly diverse camp wins. If such a camp is not present, the player with the most well-themed camp wins, calculating points by taking the strongest represented color (vibe) in a camp and subtracting the second-strongest color, ignoring the rest. Camp Roskilde is a short theme-driven game with simple game mechanisms. You don't need to have visited Roskilde Festival to play the game, but it helps a lot with the fun factor if you have.
Camp Roskilde supports 2–6 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 Camp Roskilde 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 Camp Roskilde for ages 12 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.
Camp Roskilde 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.
