About the game
Snow is falling! Winter is finally here! A joust is in the making: let the show begin! You play as children, representing your village, and face your opponents in a joyful competition around a marvelous tree. Anticipate other players’ moves and guess their intentions. Be crafty, collect strange fruits, and dodge the snowballs!! Fruits appear randomly on the board at different levels of the tree. The players will try to seize them and therefore will have to choose on which branch they want to climb. Be careful though, a player will only be able to harvest fruits if he is alone on a branch, and if there is not a player in ambush just above him! Thus, He will try to anticipate the choices of his opponents since otherwise a squabble will start, which will inevitably end up by the loss of cards, unless one of the brawlers dominates the fray. Finally, the cleverest player will score a point for avoiding the fight by being the lowest in the tree. Between racing game, bluff, and double guessing. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Snow Time supports 3–5 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 Snow Time 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 Snow Time 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.
Snow Time has a complexity rating of 1.3 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.
