From the box: "... the mind-bending phrase game that challenges players to finish popular quotes from life to literature, from TV to tunes, and from proverbs to Presidents. "Be the first player to correctly answer eleven Finish Lines phrases and you're the winner! But remember, "It's not whether you win or lose..." Well, you know the rest!"
Finish Lines supports 2–6 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 Finish Lines 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.
Finish Lines has a complexity rating of 1.5 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.
