Le Cercle is a board game released in 2007 for 4–10 players and 60 minutes per game. Its main mechanics are Betting and Bluffing and Pattern Recognition.
Le Cercle is a French Canadian boardgame based on the television game show of the same name. The board consists of five concentric circles. Players must advance to the centre of the board by correctly answering trivia questions based largely on French Canadian and Quebec culture. Players are eliminated along the way until only one player remains in the centre. To win, that player must correctly answer six questions in 15 seconds. Only available in French.
Le Cercle supports 4–10 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 Le Cercle is 60 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.
Le Cercle has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
