Roulette-Taking Game is a board game released in 2022 for 2–4 players, 20–40 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by T親方 (Master T) and its main mechanics are Betting and Bluffing and Trick-taking.
Roulette-Taking Game is, according to an apocryphal story in the rules, a taboo folk game from France that is only allowed to be played by locals, and the designer negotiated for 50 years to be able to license it. The game is a trick-taking game where the winner of each trick earns the right to place a bet on a roulette-type betting mat. What players are betting on is the rank and suit of the card that wins the last trick. A new dealer will lead each round but will not participate in the bidding.
Roulette-Taking Game 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 Roulette-Taking Game is 20–40 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 Roulette-Taking Game for ages 12 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.
Roulette-Taking Game 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.
