About the game
A game of Poc! is played in three rounds. Each player owns five coasters numbered from 1 to 5. In the first round, you place the box without lid in the center of the table. On your turn, place a coaster on your closed fist, 20cm away from the box. Then try to flick your coaster either inside the box, or on top of one or more coasters lying on the table. If you manage the latter you take back your coaster(s) to play them again and any opponent's coaster goes under your fist as points to be scored in the end. The game ends when one player doesn't have any more coasters to play. All coasters inside the box are worth twice their printed value to their owner and any opponent's coaster under your fist is worth their printed value in points. For the second round, do the same, except the lid goes on top of the box and you try to flick your coaster on top of the lid. For the same round, place the trampoline coaster in the middle instead of the box. Any coaster landing on the trampoline goes back to their owner's fist. All other rules still apply. The player with the most points in the end wins the game.

Questions and answers
Poc! supports 2–4 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 Poc! is 10–15 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 Poc! 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.
Poc! 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.

The credited designers of Poc! are: Nicolas Bourgoin, Alexandre Droit, and Florent Toscano.
