About the game
Welcome to Outpost 2, located deep in the Amazon. You and your team have been sent on an expedition into the jungle. Unfortunately, a recent report shows that the locals are moving away from the riverbanks; also, night vision surveillance has captured photos that seem too strange to be true. Take the river boat to safety, but investigate and try to capture these creatures from the photos. Do you have what it takes to make it through the jungle in Outpost: Amazon?

Questions and answers
Outpost: Amazon 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 Outpost: Amazon is 30–45 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 Outpost: Amazon for ages 12 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.
Outpost: Amazon 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.
Outpost: Amazon belongs to these categories: Card Game, Animals, and Adventure. Its main mechanics are Cooperative Game and Deck, Bag, and Pool Building.
