About the game
Raidents are pun-packed anthropomorphic cartoon rodents resolved to raid your opponent’s home. A 2-player strategy board game for all Chess enthusiasts but with portals, explosives, and a plant-the-flag win condition. With the modular terrain tiles there are nearly 92 million unique board combinations before the game has even begun, ensuring fresh strategies and endless replayability. The terrain unlocks each Raident’s signature abilities, but only 3 of your 11 Raidents can be on the battlefield at a time. Do you need the puppeteering Moustermind, the Squerrilla’s AKORN47, the Chinzhilla’s Kaijujitsu, or the Porcupyro to nuke some hot cross bunnies? Cycle through your Queue quickly and sabotage your enemies’ plans before they thwart yours. Adapt to the map, improvise your battle cries, and overcome your opponent’s rodents in the game of wacky warfare and silly strategy! -description from designer

Questions and answers
Raidents 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 Raidents is 30–90 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 Raidents 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.
Raidents has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight 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.
