About the game
It is the 18th century in Galicia, Spain. Elaborate raised granaries known as hórreos are garnering acclaim for their agricultural importance and aesthetic beauty. Now the neighboring towns of Carnota and Lira are engaged in a competition to create the best hórreo. Can you build the longest, most ornate structure that keeps the mice out? A game of building and rivalries. In the game you represent the neighboring villages of Lira and Carnota facing against each other to build the best hórreo. You will use simultaneous selection of actions to try to get the best plans to build your hórreo, stealing them from your opponent, building them or sabotaging your enemy's actions, always keeping in mind that some actions go first than others and your plans might end up being disrupted. Get the most points by by cleverly building your hórreo from different parts, trying to have the most ornate one, the longest and to prevent mice. Winner of Button Shy's 18 Card Challenge: Design a game about a real life location. Released in the January 2021 Board Game of the Month Club $20+ package.

Questions and answers
Hórreos supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Hórreos is 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 Hórreos for ages 8 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.
Hórreos has a complexity rating of 1.2 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.
