About the game
Are you ready to have a Happy Party? I hope so, but you'll need to blow out the right candles in order to be happiest in the end. Each player starts with four face-down tokens in front of them, and they need to fill the four spaces on their personal gift board in order to win. On a turn, a player rolls the two dice, then tries to blow down candles on the cake that match what's shown on the dice. If they don't, whether by not blowing down enough candles or by blowing down the wrong ones, their turn ends. If they blow down the right candles, they can reveal tokens in front of themselves or other players, and if those tokens match the images on their gift board, they claim that gift. The first player to fill their gift board wins!

Questions and answers
Happy Party supports 2–4 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 Happy Party 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 Happy Party for ages 4 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.
Happy Party 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.
