Mango is a board game released in 2024 for 1–5 players, 20–40 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Lars Jansen and its main mechanics are Set Collection and Tile Placement.
The name might suggest otherwise, but Mango is not just about mangoes. It’s also about bananas, cherries and pears. In this game you try to create the best orchard by growing groups of the same fruit. Get an orchard card from the market and place this in your own orchard. Choose wisely and create groups of the same fruit. Is a group of fruit adjacent to a waterdrop with the exact same value? Than this group of fruit will gain you points. But when you play to risky, it might be that this group of fruit will be worth nothing! The player with the most points wins the game.
Mango supports 1–5 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 Mango is 20–40 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 Mango 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.
