About the game
In Kerrunch the idea is to score three touchdowns. Starting with the player who won the toss, you take turns trying to move players to try to get the ball in your opponent's end zone and score a touchdown. When, either, you or your opponent score a touchdown the game is paused while injured players come back on. The two teams then return to their end zones and the game restarts until one team has scored three touchdowns, and won. From the box: "Kerrunch! The title says it all! This is the football game with a difference, where teams of heavily armored Orcs, Dwarfs, Humans and Elves have to fight their way from one end of the pitch to the other to score those elusive touchdowns.

Questions and answers
Kerrunch 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 Kerrunch is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Kerrunch 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.
Kerrunch has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
