About the game
Caractère is a French game based on what the players think about each other. All the players must simultaneously choose the name of a player as an answer to a question — most of the time, it's a "who is the most... ?" type of question. There are 3 different kinds of cards : - Grey "Mélo" questions applies to everybody, and one can choose is own name as an answer - Red Duo questions applies to everybody, but one can't answer his own nam - Blue Ego question are about the active player only ("Am I rather likely to do this or that ?")

Questions and answers
Caractère supports 4–8 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 Caractère is 90 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 Caractère for ages 15 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.
Caractère 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.
