Dimenticato is a board game released in 1998 for 2–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Ferdinand Hein and its main mechanics are Modular Board.
This is a game reminesant of Parcheesi or Trouble. You bring your pieces out and run around a board and return them all to start to win. The board is constructed before each game so it will always be differant. It is a double track with a picture of a dice in the center of each space. The pawns are wide at the base so when you place them in a space they cover the picture of the dice. At the start of your turn you chose one of your 4 pieces, state the number under it and then if your memory was correct move the pawn that many spaces. If you remembered wrong you lose your turn.
Dimenticato 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 Dimenticato 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 Dimenticato 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.
Dimenticato 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.
