Cuyuyuy is a board game released in 2021 for 2–4 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Andrés Paredes and its main mechanics are Memory.
Cuyuyuy simulates a wheel of fortune. There are 12 numbered box cards, arranged in a circle. A random guinea pig is placed on the box with its number. In each turn, each player places a card from their personal deck on one of the boxes. Cards are simultaneously revealed, and the numbers are added up. The guinea pig runs around the wheel to cover that distance. If it lands on a player's card, that player claims the guinea pig; if not, a new set of cards is added. First player to gain three guinea pigs is the winner. Players should remember which cards have been played to get a better shot at influencing the outcome.
Cuyuyuy supports 2–4 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 Cuyuyuy is 15 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 Cuyuyuy for ages 6 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.
Cuyuyuy has a complexity rating of 1.4 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.
