Hyves Ranking Game is a board game released in 2010 for 2–8 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Daan Kreek and its main mechanics are Roll / Spin and Move.
Hyves was the biggest social network website in The Netherlands with around 10 million accounts at its peak. In this social board game it is all about one thing; how good do your friends know you and how good do you know your friends? During the game the players roll the die to see which subject card they will have to play. In turns a player puts the 5 options of a subject card in the order that fits this player's personality best while the other players try to predict which order the first player puts down. For each correct answer a player receives points which will be noted by the pawn on the playing board and on the special score card on which also other important information can be found (like which player is the 'most open book').
Hyves Ranking Game supports 2–8 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 Hyves Ranking Game is 45 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 Hyves Ranking Game for ages 12 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.
Hyves Ranking Game 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.
