Fritanga is a board game released in 2025 for 3–7 players, 25 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by José Luchoro and Rafael Miralles and its main mechanics are Team-Based Game and Semi-Cooperative Game.
Set in the Blind Business universe, Fritanga is a game for cooking lovers where the playing area is - a fryer! Players take control of various foods and try to survive at all costs, jumping from one side of the fryer basket to the other. When a player cannot move, they fall into the boiling oil, being fried, and (unfortunately) eliminated from the game. You must use all the cards you collect to survive and not become deliciously battered. Fritanga has three game modes: free-for-all, suitable for 3 to 7 players; the mode against the chef, a semi-co-operative version for groups of 3 to 7 players, in which one will be the chef and will try to fry the rest of the players; and team mode, in which two equal groups compete to win. Each game mode has a few different cards to tailor the experience. After assembling the central board with cards, which represent spaces on the fryer grid, players begin their turns, which are divided into two phases: playing cards and moving. The first phase allows you to play as many cards as you want, with the aim of improving the position in the fryer or annoying and attacking your rivals. The second phase allows you to move 1-2 cards away. At that moment, the card you reached is revealed, then either an effect is triggered or you can claim that card to use it later. —description from the publisher
Fritanga supports 3–7 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 Fritanga is 25 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 Fritanga for ages 10 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.
Fritanga has a complexity rating of 1.8 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.
