About the game
It's time for a Pearl Party on the coral reef! The Clam family is providing their most beautiful pearls for decorative strings. Lucky rolls let players collect pearls and thread them onto their strings. But be careful – the octopus loves pearls and is collecting them too! The player with the longest string of pearls at the end of the game wins. Players roll the dice and find the matching sea-animal friend to collect pearls from the current member of the Clam family. Whoever has the most pearls at the end of the game wins – but watch out! If the Octopus collects enough pearls to fill it's tentacles, everyone loses. —description from the publisher

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 Pearl Party is 15–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Pearl Party for ages 3 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.
Pearl Party has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
