Sybarit is a board game released in 2003 for 2–8 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Arne Blom.
Trivia game about food. The first player draws a card which gives the category (food, drinks, etiquette, or a bit of everything) of which they should answer a question (and also a value, more about this later). They can choose a question for one point (easier) or one for three points (harder). If they answer the question correct they gain the points, if not no points. There are also a few jokers that give special rules for how many points a question should be awarded (including among others minus points, and "as many points as the last player got"). After the question is answered, the category cards are kept in a separate pile for each player. At the end of the game the card values for each player are summed up. The player with most gets awarded an additional five points. The player with most points after this is the winner. Awards 2007 Årets Voksenspil, Adult Game of the Year Denmark
Sybarit supports 2–8 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 Sybarit is 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 Sybarit for ages 14 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.
Sybarit 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.
