About the game
Game description from the publisher: The black alchemy of Baron Oberst Reimard Von Karloff, along with the magic of the hermetics that serve him, has brought a writhing mass of flesh and pistons to life! Enemies of the Reich cannot deny the danger this poses, both to the freedom of the world and to the very laws of nature themselves. The Tannhäuser: Frankenstahl expansion includes one painted figure and an accompanying character sheet, a twelve-page rulebook with an all-new scenario, and all the tokens and equipment cards necessary to bring this deadly abomination to your battles.

Questions and answers
Tannhäuser: Frankenstahl supports 2–10 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 Tannhäuser: Frankenstahl is 60–120 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 Tannhäuser: Frankenstahl for ages 13 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.
Tannhäuser: Frankenstahl has a complexity rating of 1.8 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.
