Copié Collé is a board game released in 2011 for 3–6 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Jérôme Boullonnois and its main mechanics are Memory.
In the pocket game Copié Collé (Copy & Paste), players are young students back in school, each holding a small chalkboard (i.e., card) numbered 1-6, with any cards not held by players lying on the table. On a turn, the active player rolls the die, then tries to identify who holds this card – copying from his neighbor in order to answer the teacher's question, to put it in thematic terms. This player can deny she's holding the right card, of course, but eventually you must turn over a card (including the one you hold, naturally). Find the wrong card, and the teacher hands you a bean as punishment; if someone tries to falsely misdirect you, she might end up holding the bean. Teacher actions force players to swap cards or race to identify who holds what. In the end, the player stuck swallowing the fewest beans wins the game.
Copié Collé supports 3–6 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 Copié Collé is 20 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 Copié Collé 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.
Copié Collé 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.
