About the game
Players in Strike A Pose need to do just that, with the poses they strike being presented to them on cards within the game. Each round, one player is the Guesser and must leave the room before everyone else does their thing. The other players take a statue card that's shared, then an individual ID card with a number from 1 to 7 on it; each number relates to a named pose on the card, with all of the poses having a theme in common — e.g., "Water Sports" is the category, and the poses are snorkeling, swimming, fishing, sailboating, surfing, water polo and jet ski. The players each freeze in their poses as best they can, then the Guesser returns, looks at the statue card, then assigns numbers as best as she can to each player. If she guesses correctly, then both she and the poser score.

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 Strike A Pose is 50 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Strike A Pose 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.
Strike A Pose has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
