About the game

You are busy exporting Malvasian wine and building extravagant mansions while making strategic use of your merchant as well as your farmer. But be careful! Just as you try to sabotage your rivals, they might be sending bandits your way to thwart your plans. He who is most successful at bluffing and scheming will gain the most influence and win the game! Contents: 1 game board, 1 farm hand, 4 merchant tokens, 6 town cards, 24 character cards, 52 mansions, 1 set of game rules.

Questions and answers
Teneriffa supports 2–4 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 Teneriffa is 40 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 Teneriffa 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.
Teneriffa 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.
