About the game
In Only One Collection, players are collecting cards hoping to have the most of each type, and the player on their right to have the second most! On their turn a player can either add a card from the deck to a set on the table or take a set. A player cannot add a duplicate number to a set. The game ends when a certain card is revealed in the deck. Then, the player who has the most cards of each number earns 1 point and then earns 1 point per card of those numbers held by the player on their right. The person with the most points wins.

Questions and answers

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 Only One Collection is 30–60 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 Only One Collection 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.
Only One Collection has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
