About the game
In Fits it's all about speed. Every player gets a board which he needs to fill with colored tiles (Small and large triangles and squares in 4 colors). The die defines which tile to pick from the tile holder and the player needs to place this piece on his/her board. But the piece can't touch other pieces of the same color. The fun part is that the die can't lay still for more than five seconds. So after one minute you have lots of pieces on and besides your board and are pretty stressed to make it all fit on the board. The first player who can make it all fit on his board wins.

Questions and answers
Fits supports 2–4 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 Fits 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 Fits 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.
Fits 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.
Fits belongs to these categories: Party Game, Abstract Strategy, and Puzzle. Its main mechanics are Tile Placement, Pattern Building, and Pattern Recognition.
