Where are the glitter beings? On the island? In the wrecks? In the ruins? If you are best at remembering the different paths from one place to another in Lumina, you will win. This memory game has two levels of difficulty for gameplay. ••• German publisher's text: Auf der Insel Lumina flattern zauberhafte Funkelwesen durch den tiefen Wald und über die weiten Felder. Aber sie zu finden, ist nicht leicht, denn die Funkelwesen verstecken sich mal in alten Schiffswracks vor der Küste, mal in den verwunschenen Ruinen auf der Insel und die Wege zwischen den Orten sind weit. Wer kann sich am besten merken, wie man von einem Ort zum nächsten kommt und so als Erster fünf Funkelwesen finden? Ein spannendes Memo-Suchspiel. • kurze Regeln für schnellen Spielspaß • mit Profi-Variante
Lumina supports 2–4 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 Lumina is 10–15 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 Lumina for ages 5 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.
Lumina 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.
