Caution Signs is a board game released in 2024 for 3–9 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Scott Brady and Danielle Reynolds and its main mechanics are Real-Time and Drawing.
Each round in Caution Signs, you're presented with a secret combination of adjective and noun: stylish rhino, gassy monkeys, flexible cow, melting babies — ten thousand combinations are possible. You have twenty seconds to sketch an image of this combo on a caution sign. All of these images are then revealed to the round's guesser, along with the individual adjectives and nouns, and the guesser tries to figure out what each sign is warning them about.
Caution Signs supports 3–9 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 Caution Signs is 20–30 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 Caution Signs 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.
Caution Signs has a complexity rating of 1.2 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.
