About the game
There’s only one skydiving competition in which two teams race to form a five-man formation in the middle of free fall. After the starting jumpers make their leap, you have about fifteen minutes to be the first to complete your line and claim victory. On your turn in Quinque, you mark a free skydiver on a tile (placing a parachute on their back) and move a tile with the four skydivers on it. You can also choose to move instead of marking, so you may move even two tiles in a turn. Players alternate turns until one of them successfully lines up five of their own skydivers horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. This five-man formation is called "Quinque"!

Questions and answers
Quinque supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Quinque is 10–20 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 Quinque for ages 7 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.
Quinque 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.
