Flow is a board game released in 2025 for 1–6 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Dmitrijus Babičius, Marijus Lapinskas, Justina Lapinskienė, and Tadas Kastanauskas and its main mechanics are Cooperative Game and Real-Time.
Flow is a cooperative game where players work together to connect four animal spaces to the boat tile in the center of the board by drawing and playing tiles. Do you have what it takes to save the animals? If players run out of tiles they and the animals have not been connected to the boat, they all lose. The game uses a timer, and each time it runs out, players roll two dice that tell them where the giant wave strikes and washes away tiles already placed. —description from the publisher
Flow 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 Flow 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 Flow 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.
Flow has a complexity rating of 1.1 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.
