About the game
Funstir, an expansion for Frigiti, plays much like the base game: In a round, the active player rolls all ten dice – seven of which have consonants on all sides, and three of which have only vowels – then creates a word by using at least three dice. (This word cannot be real, and if anyone claims it is, reroll the dice and try again.) What Funstir adds to the game are marketing slogans, and players are now trying to create brand names to match those slogans, along with an explanatory phrase. Once players read off their phrases, everyone will then each distribute three tokens to the answers they thought best, with one of those tokens going to the player's own answer. (This self-congratulatory vote aids in the scorekeeping process.) After each person has been the active player once, the game ends and the player with the most tokens wins.

Questions and answers
Funstir supports 4–6 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 Funstir is 40 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 Funstir for ages 13 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.
Funstir 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.
Funstir belongs to these categories: Word Game, Dice, and Bluffing. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules. Filter the catalogue by the same category to find similar games when you enjoyed Funstir and want something comparable for your next game night.
The credited designers of Funstir are: Andrea Meyer. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Funstir as an expansion for Frigiti. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Frigiti to use it. Check that your edition of Frigiti is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
