Limit is a board game released in 2009 for 2–3 players and 30 minutes per game. It was designed by Cameron Browne and its main mechanics are Grid Movement, Modular Board, and Enclosure.
At first, players take turns to grow the board from hex tiles and fill it with their pawns. Then they seek to be the last one standing while the board shrinks.
Limit supports 2–3 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 Limit is 30 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.
Limit has a complexity rating of 2.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
