Dozito is a board game for 2–5 players, 10–20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Alex Fortineau and Simon Moulard and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Grid Movement, and Chaining.
Dozito is a fast and colorful card game where players compete to build the most efficient 4x3 grid by placing cards numbered 1 to 12 in their correct spots. Each card is unique and must be placed in its matching numbered space. Players flip and replace cards during their turn, forming groups of same-color cards to earn points — and collecting Dozitos (suns) for bonus scoring. The game features chain reactions, tactical swaps, and a bit of luck, with a few surprise effects thrown in thanks to special cards like Jokers, “Extra Turn” and “Stop.” After three rounds, the player with the most points wins. —description from the designer
Dozito supports 2–5 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 Dozito is 10–20 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 Dozito 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.
Dozito has a complexity rating of 1.3 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.
