Smart10 is a board game released in 2017 for 2–8 players, 20–120 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Arno Steinwender and Christoph Reiser and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck.
Smart10 is a quiz game where a player doesn't need to wait for one's turn for long. There are ten possible answers to each question, and every player gets to answer every question. If the answer is correct, the player gets an answer marker. But should you answer or pass? If you don't score your answer markers on time (and thereby pass on this round), you can end up losing them. So if you are not 100% certain of an answer - do you gamble or do you pass? Plays great in teams.
Smart10 supports 2–8 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 Smart10 is 20–120 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 Smart10 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.
Smart10 has a complexity rating of 1.2 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.
