About the game
Intelle is a cube-placement, area-control strategy game for two players. One player is the "black hat", a cunning hacker determined to infiltrate and bring down the corporation. The opposing player is the "white hat", employed by the corporation to protect its valuable data. Players take turns strategically placing blocks of code with the intent of controlling the various systems of the corporate mainframe. Control three adjacent systems before your opponent to either infiltrate or protect the corporation and win the game! —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Intelle supports 2 players 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 Intelle 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 Intelle for ages 10 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.
Intelle has a complexity rating of 1.8 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.
