Kumppani is a board game released in 2018 for 4–12 players, 35–80 minutes per game, and ages 17 and up. Its main mechanics are Team-Based Game.
Kumppani is a 400-card game of abductive reasoning,intuition, and logic. The game begins by one pair drawing a card and following the instructions successfully to keep the card. The first pair to collect 5 cards wins the game. The cards focus on interaction and teamwork and players can win certain cards by matching answers, regardless of whether they are both factually correct. The content is wide-ranging, and players could be: deciding if hang gliding or scuba diving is more dangerous, naming hangover symptoms, guessing who believes in aliens, or deciding if wolves are monogamous. Kumppani also includes: 6 paddles and markers, which players write on; 2 sand timers, 20 and 45 seconds; and 150 blue cards, which every pair can compete to win. These hard-to-win cards are very strategic and can be used to skip challenges or steal opponents’ cards. —description from the publisher

The listed playing time for Kumppani is 35–80 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 Kumppani for ages 17 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
