Fast Figure is a board game released in 2003 for 3–6 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Keith Meyers.
From the Publisher... It's not what you know, it's how fast you know it in this high-speed game of number placement. Players "race-to-place" common knowledge cards in numerical order to gain the most points. All questions have a number answer, and each round gets increasingly difficult as more numbers go down in the line. Were the number of stars on the U.S. Flag during the attack on Pearl Harbor less than the number of times Princess Diana appeared on the cover of People magazine? Next, where does the number of keys on a grand piano fall? "Figure" out where the answer goes before the others and score!
Fast Figure 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 Fast Figure 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 Fast Figure for ages 12 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.
Fast Figure has a complexity rating of 1.2 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.
