Top scientists and inventors will help you in your quest. Will you win the Nobel Prize? The goal of the game is to get 20 or more prestige points. These will allow you to win the Nobel Prize. You can get prestige points by: - Publishing scientific papers. - Getting research grants. - Hiring staff. - With the help of scientists and inventors. During the game, players will use the resources generated by their cards to pay the cost of the cards available in the common card pool. In this way, research grants, lab equipment, researchers, scientists and inventors will be added to their individual deck. Turn by turn, players will expand and improve their research team. But the research world is not easy! Along their way, players will face different situations that will make their run for the Nobel prize much harder.

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 Nobel Run is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Nobel Run for ages 10 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.
