Get ready for a fun and fierce card game in Divicity. With hidden scoring tokens and the ability to tease other players, Divicity is an exciting and unpredictable game, perfect for getting the crowd together and having a good laugh at any time. The objective of the game is to have more points by end of the match. Before playing the first card, the starting player can peek at two of the scoring tokens in play and return them face down in the center of the table. The starting player plays the card they want from their hand, face up, on the table. The other players, clockwise, play one card each. Players are required to play cards of the suit played by the starting player. If you do not have cards from the suit played by the starting player, can play any card. When all players have played a card, the player who played the lowest card of the same suit played by the starting player reveals the chips of score and takes one of them. Then the player who played the highest card of the suit played by the leading player wins the trick and takes a second chip. In games for 5 or 6 players, the third chip is donated by the winner of the trick to any player except himself and the player who took the first token of the turn. When players have no more cards in their hands, the game ends. Players tally their scoring tokens. Whoever has the highest score wins the game.
Divicity supports 3–6 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 Divicity is 30 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 Divicity for ages 14 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.
Divicity 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.
