Meteo is a board game released in 2024 for 2–5 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Tobia Botta and its main mechanics are Memory and Deduction.
In Meteo, players try to find the best weather conditions for last-minute holidays. To set up, lay out six face-up weather cards (worth +2 to -2), then place one of six color cards at random face down under each weather card. Each player secretly looks at one face-down card. Shuffle the deck with sky cards in the six colors. Reveal sky cards one by one face up next to one another on the table. When 2-5 sky cards have been revealed, any player can shout "Off I go", collecting all of the cards present as they take off on a vacation. As a reward, they get to peek at another face-down color card. If no one has claimed the cards after five have been revealed, the weekend has arrived, and all of those cards are discarded before a new week begins. Each player can claim cards at most three times. When all players have done so or the deck is empty, the game ends. Everyone tallies their score after revealing the face-down color cards to determine how much each sky card is worth. Whoever scores the most wins.
Meteo supports 2–5 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 Meteo 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 Meteo 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.
Meteo has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
