Fortuna is a board game released in 1984 for 2–5 players and 120 minutes per game. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Trading.
This game is a variation on the Monopoly theme, with a few differences: - There are 44 spaces on the board (not 40 as in Monopoly). - Instead of throwing dice players use sets of 12 tokens with numbers ranged 1-12 and move accordingly to the number shown on the chosen token. Thus Fortuna is much less random than Monopoly. - There are four "restaurants" and three "railway stations" spaces instead of 4 railway stations in original Monopoly. - In addition to a possibility of being sent to hospital (an equivalent of prison) players have an option to go to vacation. Other rules are very similar to the rules of Monopoly. The board represents Warsaw in 1901.
Fortuna 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 Fortuna is 120 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.
Fortuna has a complexity rating of 1.2 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.
Fortuna belongs to these categories: Economic, Negotiation, and Post-Napoleonic. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Trading. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The catalogue lists Fortuna as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
