About the game
In a turn of Vollifanten the active player receives two transparent foils, each with three tree leaves on a 4×4 grid - one of which was drafted by the previous player, the other coming from the draw pile. Of these two, he chooses one to place in his elephant, rotated and flipped as desired, on top of the previously selected foils. The other he drafts on to the next player. The object of the game is to cover all 16 squares of the 4×4 grid covered with tree leaves.

Questions and answers
Eager Elephants 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 Eager Elephants is 5–10 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 Eager Elephants 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.
Eager Elephants 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.
