About the game
Lodge is a fast-paced and lively card game where players compete to prepare tasty snacks for the hikers visiting the forest. Lodge is played over 3 rounds, each made up of several turns. Customer cards are placed at the center of the table and show the number and type of snacks each customer wants. Each player has a hand of Snack cards numbered from 1 to 48, representing four snack types: Apple, Sandwich, Smoothie, and Energy Bar. At the beginning of each turn, all players secretly select a Snack card from their hand, place it face down, and then reveal them simultaneously. Then, in ascending card number order, players place their Snack cards in front of customers, matching the requested snack types. If your card completes a customer’s order, you take that Customer card, which will be worth points at the end of the game. You win by scoring the most points… or by ending the game with exactly 10 Squirrel tokens! With bluffing, plot twists, and simultaneous turns, every match is a race to the last bite. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Lodge supports 2–6 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 Lodge is 20–30 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.
The catalogue lists Lodge 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.
Lodge has a complexity rating of 1.5 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.
