Hedgehog Roll is a board game released in 2019 for 1–4 players, 20–25 minutes per game, and ages 4 and up. It was designed by Urtis Šulinskas and its main mechanics are Race, Roll / Spin and Move, and Point to Point Movement.
Under the thick canopy of trees, the hedgehog is hurrying back to its cozy home. Uh-oh! Here comes the fox, looking for its next meal. The road home will be a real adventure! In Hedgehog Roll, you want to roll the fuzzy hedgehog across the forest floor to collect apples, leaves, and mushrooms that allow you to move further along the path. Play either with the competitive mode to race against each other or with the co-operative mode to race against the sly fox! The game includes advanced rules that offer a challenge for adult players who also want to try their hand at rolling the velcro-covered hedgehog about the forest floor... —description from the publisher
Hedgehog Roll supports 1–4 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 Hedgehog Roll is 20–25 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 Hedgehog Roll 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.
Hedgehog Roll 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.
