About the game
Players play metal tubes of varying sizes onto one of three building spaces. Added in are six thin wooden columns, which only remain visible when their tips can still be seen over the topmost edge of the metal tubes. Each player has components in a single color, but both players can use the tubes and columns of his opponent. See and be seen - only that counts at the end of the game. The player whose building materials can be seen the most at the end of the game is the winner. San Ta Si is a spatial hide-and-seek game for thinkers who love to build.

Questions and answers
San Ta Si 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 San Ta Si is 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 San Ta Si for ages 10 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.
San Ta Si has a complexity rating of 1.8 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.
