Hedgehog Hop is a board game released in 2019 for 2–6 players, 12–18 minutes per game, and ages 11 and up. It was designed by Seppy Yoon and its main mechanics are Set Collection and Tile Placement.
In the Hedgehog Hop, rival hedgehog dance crews vie for supremacy in the Grand Finale. Despite their enthusiasm, hedgehogs are clumsy dancers and spend a lot of time bumping into one another. Help them get their act together and make friends. As players groove, slide and hop their crew into the dance mob, they'll also collect backup dancers and set up their lead dancer for the big finish. The player who scores the most points in the Grand Finale wins. —description from the publisher
Hedgehog Hop supports 2–6 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 Hedgehog Hop is 12–18 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 Hedgehog Hop for ages 11 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.
Hedgehog Hop has a complexity rating of 1.6 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.
