Questions and answers
Illimat: Victory Book supports 1–4 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 Illimat: Victory Book is 15–45 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 Illimat: Victory Book 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.
Illimat: Victory Book belongs to these categories: Card Game, Abstract Strategy, and Book. Its main mechanics are Hand Management and Set Collection. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Illimat: Victory Book are: Keith Baker and Colin Meloy.

The catalogue lists Illimat: Victory Book as an expansion for Illimat. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Illimat to use it. Check that your edition of Illimat is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
