About the game
DOUC Kids is a cooperative memory game. The players will act as a team of Rangers, working together to find the Poachers‘ traps in the Jungle while protecting the DOUCs from those traps. Communication is essential! You can support your team members with your knowledge at any time, which will give you the best possible chance to save the DOUCs! On each player‘s turn, they must reveal any two cards from the Jungle. But beware if you reveal a DOUC and a Trap. The DOUC has been captured! Now you need to quickly find rangers in the jungle to save the DOUCs. The game ends as soon as the last trap is found. Experience species protection in a playful way – DOUC Kids supports projects for the conservation of red-shanked DOUCs.

Questions and answers
DOUC Kids supports 1–6 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 DOUC Kids 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 DOUC Kids for ages 4 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.
DOUC Kids 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.
