Oh no, the mine is collapsing! Hurry, get in the wagon and head towards the exit! Infernal Wagon is an intensely fun cooperative game in which players must work together to create a path to the exit… before time runs out! But be careful: each card played has a high chance of triggering devastating effects! A game of Infernal Wagon plays in 7 minutes at most, until one of the end game conditions is met. In this cooperative game, all players win or lose together. At the start of the game, place the 3 starting cards and the wagon on the last one. There is no turn order: when the time is right, the player with the best card plays and activates its effect. They draw a card and any other player can take a turn (in the 2 players variant, you can play 2 cards consecutively). Once a card is played, move the wagon onto it. Place the exit card in the 7 minutes time span to win the game! —description from the publisher

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Infernal Wagon 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.
