Square One: Combo Master is an expansion for Square One released in 2025 for 1–4 players, 15–50 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Jan Soukal and Patrik Chleboun.
The Combo Master expansion brings another layer of strategic depth by introducing Action Rewards; a new type of sequence that after completion gives a player bonus action to use during their turn. With Combo Master you can stack up your actions and unleash them later in the game to perform a mega combo!
Square One: Combo Master supports 1–4 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 Square One: Combo Master is 15–50 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 Square One: Combo Master 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.
