About the game
Taverns, motivated merchants and magical objects are all that you need to become the richest merchant in Kameloot. But which tavern will you choose; The Hooting Owl tavern where paladins and magicians rub shoulders with rich merchants OR The Black Cat tavern, home of conniving crooks and scheming sorcerers? Watch out for turncoats, there’s no mercy in the taverns! In short: Complete your collections of magical objects with the help of other merchants you find in the taverns Split the jackpot once a collection is completed. Use your magical items. But once again, watch out for turncoats... You don't need to stay loyal to the same tavern owner! —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Kameloot supports 3–6 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 Kameloot is 20–25 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 Kameloot for ages 8 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.
Kameloot has a complexity rating of 1.3 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.
Kameloot belongs to these categories: Card Game, Medieval, and Math. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Semi-Cooperative Game.
