About the game
Plaformer is 2-4 player miniature Board Game introducing light, competitive gameplay that you have never seen before! Climb on platforms, fight monsters, gather gold / points / items and most importantly - race with your friends! This Board Game brings light, extremely FUN experience for family and friends - prepare for tons of laughs and cunning against your opponents! Platformer is centered around a very simple Gravity Mechanic. During your turn, you climb up – but when your turn ends, you fall down, until you hit a platform or a ladder. Race to the top and try to keep with your opponents! There’s no one big map in the box. From the cards, you create a new map in every single game. Also, the map has many levels and from the start, you see only one of them. Every move you may make is determined by the dice. After rolling it you see how many and what moves you can do. You don’t enjoy your result? Don’t worry! Each die may be rerolled once! Back to the actions, it might be a jump, move one space, getting a gold coin, and moving or attacking the monsters. In general, you do not only have to play smart but a little luck is needed too!

Questions and answers
Platformer supports 1–4 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 Platformer is 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 Platformer 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.
Platformer has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
