About the game
Champions! is an unpredictable game combining predictions, votes, and quirky humor. In each round, you try to predict which characters — ranging from public figures to fictional characters...or even family members — will win their duels, and which single character will end up the champion in the grand finale. More specifically, in each duel you vote for the contestant you think will win, scoring points if you're correct. Put yourself in the shoes of the other players and anticipate their votes! Betting on the right champion will earn you a bonus, then you head into the next round with a new batch of characters...

Questions and answers
Champions! supports 3–8 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 Champions! is 30–45 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 Champions! for ages 10 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.
Champions! 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.
