Lunte: Guy with Match is an expansion for Lunte released in 2014 for 2–6 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Bruce Whitehill and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck.
Lunte: Guy with Match is an additional card for the game Lunte, which can be played (out off sequence) immediately after a defuse card is played, thus reactivating the fuse (the cards are no longer discarded). Lunte is a fast paced card game, in which players add cards to a burning fuse, until someone detonates a bomb or extinguishes the fire. The aim of the game is to accumulate the highest number of points, by choosing the right moment to detonate or extinguish the burning fuse. Detonated bombs gain the player points, whereas extinguished cards are removed from the game. The Lunte: Guy with Match card is a promo card that was first released at Spiel '14, in Essen.
Lunte: Guy with Match 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 Lunte: Guy with Match is 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 Lunte: Guy with Match 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.
