About the game
How Many Feet? is a two-player micro-deduction game in which players hold four cards "backwards" — that is, facing the other player, as in Hanabi — and take turns asking questions about the numbers visible at the top of their cards. Possible actions in the game are: Guess a number for any two cards in your hand. Your opponent answers more/less/exact number. Once per game, you can rotate a card in your opponent's hand to change the number value. Guess the sequence of numbers on the cards in your hand; guess correctly, and you win. How Many Feet? was given away with a Office 21 crowdfunding project and might also be available at conventions and events.

The listed playing time for How Many? is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists How Many? 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.
How Many? has a complexity rating of 1.4 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.
