Night Parade is a board game released in 2026 for 2–6 players, 10–20 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Ibuink and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck.
You have wandered into a world of dreams, and now you must escape from the Dream Phantoms! Night Parade is a thrilling card game where you must trust your luck and probability as you flip cards. On your turn, you choose whether to add cards or take a chance and flip cards. If you reveal a Golden Lantern Card, it's a huge success! You can pass the Phantoms to another player. But if you fail, the Phantoms stay with you... Avoid collecting too many Phantoms and being eliminated, and try to survive until the very end by passing them on to others! —description from the publisher
Night Parade 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 Night Parade is 10–20 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 Night Parade for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
