Ranagedon is a board game released in 2026 for 2–4 players, 10–15 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Fernando Marecos and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Player Elimination, and Area Majority / Influence.
Ranagedon is a tactical dexterity and area control game for 2 to 4 players, where physical chaos and precision collide in every leap. In this showdown, players command an army of frogs that must advance using a finger-pressure jumping technique, seeking to dominate the battlefield and conquer the coveted Golden Water Lily located at the center of the table. Victory is forged through a stacking capture system: by landing on an opponent, you block them and take control of the stack, but only the disc that manages to stay on top at the end of the game can claim the points. Strategy runs deep with the use of special abilities: the Double Jump and Dive allow for long-range maneuvers, while Poisonous frogs act as a lethal defense, punishing enemy mistakes by sending them straight back to their base. Fast, tense, and highly competitive, Ranagedon challenges players to master the physics of the jump to rise as the sovereigns of the swamp.
Ranagedon 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 Ranagedon 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 Ranagedon 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.
Ranagedon 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.
