Challengers!: Winter Park Playmat + Blue Token is an expansion for Challengers! released in 2022 for 1–8 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Johannes Krenner and Markus Slawitscheck.
The Winter Park is a special playmat which adds some special rules to its gameplay: Each round one park is transformed into the Winter Park before the Draw and pick cards action in the deck phase. When you have to put 1 or more cards on your bench during the match phase, you choose for each of them on which seat you want to put it: On one of the 4 normal seats (with campfire) or on one of the two frozen seats. On each frozen seat you can put 1 or more cards up to the power threshold of the current round (= number of the round), even if they do not share the same name. Cards on a frozen seat lose their effect and cannot be targeted by other cards. The playmat comes with a blue snowflake token which is used to choose the one park to be transformed into the Winter Park.
Challengers!: Winter Park Playmat + Blue Token supports 1–8 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 Challengers!: Winter Park Playmat + Blue Token is 45 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 Challengers!: Winter Park Playmat + Blue Token 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.
Challengers!: Winter Park Playmat + Blue Token has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
