About the game
How do you feel if you win the lottery? What if someone rejects you? Playing with emotions has never been so much fun as in Ikonikus. In the game, a player raises an issue and the others must choose which of their cards best represents that emotion. Each card represents an emotion with multiple readings. ••• ¿Cómo te sientes en el sillón del dentista?, ¿cómo te sentirías si se te cayera el teléfono móvil al váter?… ¿Serías capaz de contestar a esas preguntas utilizando cartas en lugar de palabras? Las cartas de Ikonikus solo contienen símbolos, pero las interpretaciones son infinitas porque todo depende del contexto y de tu propio punto de vista. Ikonikus es un divertido juego en el que tendrás que desarrollar toda tu empatía y ponerte en el lugar del resto de participantes para adivinar qué sentirían las otras personas en cada situación.

Questions and answers
Ikonikus supports 3–8 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 Ikonikus 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 Ikonikus for ages 7 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.
Ikonikus 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.
