Propuh is a board game released in 2024 for 1–2 players, 5–15 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Damir Debanic and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Solo / Solitaire Game, and Card Play Conflict Resolution.
A strategic survival board game inspired by local superstition and card games. Each player draws the cards in turn and combines them with each other or with the "Grandmothers" location on the board to achieve their goal. This creates simple gameplay with lots of options for both players. Playing as the protagonist, you must complete a series of missions to win before your time is up or the notorious "Propuh" enters your house. Play your cards wisely because once the deck runs out, it is game over. Move the "Grandmother" to the most critical location inside the house to complete tasks easily or gain an advantage. As for the second player (the antagonist), those playing the immaterial "Propuh" draw from the same deck of cards and attempt to get into the house. Once the "Propuh" is inside, it wins! In a single-player game, the "Propuh" is played by the game itself. Note: Propuh is a crosswind (or draught) that blows through the house. It is a good thing in almost all of the world, but in some countries, it is considered a cause of many ailments. You may not have any two windows, two doors, or a window and a door open at the same time, because it could kill you! -description from designer
Propuh supports 1–2 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 Propuh 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 Propuh for ages 14 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.
Propuh has a complexity rating of 1.5 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.
