Diluvium is a board game released in 2024 for 1–4 players, 15–60 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Antoni Guillen and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Variable Set-up, and Grid Movement.
As the leader of a powerful civilization, you must explore and settle the islands available to you, with the goal of gaining the most gold possible. Players choose one of four actions on their turn: explore, settle, produce, or engage. The game ends as soon as any one of the resource pools is exhausted. The civilization with the most Gold in their reserves is declared the winner. —description from the publisher
Diluvium supports 1–4 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 Diluvium is 15–60 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 Diluvium 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.
Diluvium has a complexity rating of 2.3 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.
