About the game
Parkade is a quick, easy-to-learn party game for 3-13 players. It takes 5-15 minutes and there is zero set up. Convince the guard that the word on your vehicle “fits” with the word on any of the open spots. The first driver to park all of their vehicles wins! In each of the 3 play modes players will race to convince the parking guard why their vehicles pair with the open spots. Sometimes pairs will be pretty obvious (show princess/queen, bread/butter), but sometimes you’ll need to get creative. Simple and adrenaline-pumping! Teach your friends to play in 10 seconds or less! Includes 1,000 words, 200 cards, 150 unique vehicle illustrations, and 1 teeny tiny cone token. That’s all there is to it! Don’t let the perfect spot get snatched away! Parkade is "a game for Fridays" and is the second in the "Game Days" line of party games by Facade Games (the first being Trophies, "a game for Thursdays") —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Parkade supports 3–13 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 Parkade is 5–15 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 Parkade for ages 8 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.
Parkade 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.
