About the game
Family card game where players place a card between two numbered discard piles. The card placed must be a number between the two cards on the discard piles, and the next player will decide which direction to move the center card, creating a new number gap in which to play their own card. Numbered wilds can be played at any time and will be moved over to one of the discard piles by the next player. When a player can't play they reset. To reset, a player will discard all of the cards on the table, draw 3 new cards into their hand, and play the highest and lowest card out of their hands to start the new discard piles. You cannot go out on a wild and the first player to get rid of all of their cards wins. —description from the designer
Questions and answers
Split supports 2–5 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 Split is 10–15 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 Split for ages 8 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.
Split 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.
