About the game
Capio is a fast family boardgame with 40 coloured dice and 84 cards for 2-4 players from age 8-99 years. 40 coloured dice are cast and here we go! The players pick up the dice they need to fulfill the tasks shown on their cards and place them on their cards. The dice put down must correspond with the patterns on the card chosen. Also, each die must go together with the specific function of the card chosen. The player who is fastest and makes no mistakes is the winner. Capio presents a number of challenges: perception, reaction times and adaptive tactics are some of the abilities which this boardgame requires.

Questions and answers
Capio supports 2–4 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 Capio is 15–40 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 Capio 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.
Capio has a complexity rating of 1.7 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.
Capio belongs to these categories: Party Game, Dice, and Educational. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Dice Rolling, and Pattern Recognition.
