About the game
Smoothie Wars is a strategic game in which players compete to sell fresh fruit smoothies at different locations on a tropical island. The game takes place over an imaginary week, with each turn representing one day. The goal is to finish the week with the most money from selling smoothies. The player with the most cash at the end wins. Each turn, players must use their strategic skills to decide the location at which to sell smoothies, the number of smoothies to sell at that location, and the price of their smoothies. Players may banter, bargain, and verbally mislead others about their intentions before each turn. —description from the designer

Questions and answers
Smoothie Wars supports 3–8 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 Smoothie Wars is 45–60 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 Smoothie Wars 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.
Smoothie Wars 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.
