How many pounds does an elephant's poop weigh? How many stripes does a zebra have? How many degrees is coffee served in a cafeteria? In this game you will not find the answers, but you will surely be amazed by the hypotheses of your friends and family. Who will be the most exaggerated person? And who will fall short? - - - - ¿Cuántos kilos pesa la caca de un elefante? ¿Cuántas rayas tiene una cebra? ¿A cuántos grados se sirve el café en una cafetería? En este juego no encontrarás las respuestas, pero seguro que fliparás con las hipótesis de tus amistades y familiares. ¿Quién será la persona más exagerada? ¿Y quién se quedará corto?
Estimator supports 3–8 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 Estimator 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 Estimator for ages 10 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.
Estimator 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.
