About the game
Fieber is a cheeky card game for 2 to 5 players with nerves of steel. The patient is suffering from a nasty fever. Slip into the role of a team of doctors and try to get the fever under control. This would be child’s play really — if it weren't for this bitter rivalry going on amongst you and your colleagues! Everyone has their own secret agenda of how to make themself look good in front of the head physician.
Questions and answers
Fieber 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 Fieber is 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 Fieber 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.
Fieber 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.
Fieber belongs to these categories: Card Game, Children's Game, and Medical. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules.
