Micons is a board game released in 2020 for 2–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 3 and up. It was designed by Marine Faraguna.
A game for children that makes them observe, think, and argue, all in a casual game. During their turn, the players look if they have among their card some object which has the right characteristic: it could be some shape, color, but also concepts like sweet, salted, hot, spicy etc. The first player to get rid of all of their cards win. Toutim invites players to carefully observe and use their senses as well as their ability to argue: what do you mean, "the cat doesn't smell good?" —description from the publisher (translated) In Micons, players will not only need to be keen observers, but they'll also need to remember the sensations generated by elements of everyday life. Each turn, players look to see if they have an object among their cards that matches the displayed characteristic: These can be visible characteristics like shapes or colors, or they could be invisible concepts such as salty, sweet, hot, cold, spicy, noisy, etc. If a player can, they put their card down and it's the next player's turn. The first one to put all their cards down wins. Contents: 50 cards and instructions. -user summary Premier jeu pour les enfants qui fait travailler observation, réflexion et argumentation dans une ambiance conviviale. À son tour le joueur regarde s’il a parmi ses cartes un objet qui répond à la caractéristique demandée : il peut s’agir de formes, de couleurs, mais aussi de concepts invisibles comme salé, sucré, chaud, froid, piquant, bruyant, etc. Le premier à avoir posé toutes ses cartes a gagné. Toutim invite les joueurs à faire appel à leur sens de l’observation mais aussi à leur mémoire sensorielle et à leur capacité d’argumenter : comment ça il ne sent pas bon le chat ??? —description from the publisher
Micons 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 Micons is 20 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 Micons for ages 3 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.
Micons 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.
