Figment is a board game released in 2025 for 1–6 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Wolfgang Warsch and its main mechanics are Cooperative Game and Pattern Recognition.
Figment is a mind-bending game of visual perception. Each card features unique art using the same four colors, and your goal is to line up five cards in a row so that each card has more of one color than the card before it. After you've lined up the five cards, you choose how many bonus points (1-5) to risk based on how confident you are, then reveal the backs of the cards, earning 1 point for each card in the correct order and the bonus points if all five were correct. Play continues for five rounds, then count the number of scored cards and add the value of the tokens to determine your final score.
Figment supports 1–6 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 Figment 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 Figment 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.
Figment 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.
