About the game
Gestrudis has the gift of communicating with ghosts, but they don't make it easy for her. They try to contact her all at once using strange gestures and sounds. For seven rounds, the ghosts must simultaneously represent the concepts on the cards using mime and sounds. If Gestrudis guesses the concept that each ghost represents, YOU WIN THE ROUND! —description from the designer Gestrudis tiene el don de comunicarse con fantasmas, pero estos no se lo ponen nada fácil, intentan contactar con ella todos a la vez usando gestos y sonidos extraños. Durante siete rondas, los fantasmas deberán representar al mismo tiempo los conceptos de las cartas mediante mímica y sonidos. Si Gestrudis adivina el concepto que representa cada fantasma, ¡GANÁIS LA RONDA! —description from the designer (Spanish)

Questions and answers
Gestrudis 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 Gestrudis is 15–20 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 Gestrudis for ages 12 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.
Gestrudis 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.
