About the game
As if the Hyperstar base wasn’t already dangerous, the enemies have set traps throughout the level. Watch your step or you’ll end up in serious trouble! Trapped 6-card expansion features trap cards that complicate your path forward. Revealing one might extend your combo—or activate a trap that sets you back. Whenever you combo your way into a facedown level card, it might be a trap. Flip a trap card, and if it connects to your combo line, it replaces the next level card. This might extend your combo, or it might spring the card’s trap! If a trap has been triggered, it has an immediate negative effect as well as an enemy that must be defeated before you can continue moving.
Questions and answers
Hyperstar Run: Trapped supports 1 player 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 Hyperstar Run: Trapped 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 Hyperstar Run: Trapped 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.
Hyperstar Run: Trapped 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.
