How good of a dancer are you? How bad is your road rage? What did your report card look like as a kid? In Cross the Line, you’ll answer boldly honest, occasionally awkward, and always entertaining questions by secretly choosing your answer on a sliding scale. Think they know you? Think again. If they can cross your line, they score. The bolder they bet, the more they stand to gain—or lose. Whether you're calling out your roommate’s pizza preferences or discovering your cousin’s karaoke confidence, Cross the Line is the ultimate game for getting to know each other - and laugh while doing it! —description from the publisher
Cross the Line supports 2–8 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 Cross the Line 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 Cross the Line 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.
