Delfos is a board game released in 2026 for 1–5 players, 20–40 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Yaniv Kahana and its main mechanics are Tile Placement.
The ancient city of Delphi, once the heart of prophecy and wisdom, now lies in ruins, awaiting visionaries to restore it to its former glory. As master architects, it falls to you to meticulously rebuild its legacy, blending history with innovation. You will gather fragments of the ancient city, recovering its sacred structures and legendary monuments. Every piece you place shapes the new Delphi, honouring the past while building a magnificent future. Cooperation may prove important, but ambition speaks louder. Only the architect who best preserves their vision of Delphi, while refining its design, will earn a place in history. Will your vision stand the test of time, or will your masterpiece crumble beneath the weight of competition? —description from the publisher
Delfos supports 1–5 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 Delfos is 20–40 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 Delfos 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.
Delfos has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
