About the game
Deep in the ocean lives a strange and mysterious creature. The only thing we know about it is its amazingly colorful tentacles! Scientists have made several expeditions, but they’ve never managed to photograph this creature, which they’ve named Tentacolor. They’re relying on you, intrepid explorer! Dive to the ocean’s depths, find Tentacolor, and take photos of its beautiful tentacles. You’ll need to be smarter than the other explorers, since only one of you can photograph Tentacolor in its entirety! Tentacolor is a drafting game for our younger players. On each turn, chose one of your cards, make the color match with the tentacle you are building and try to block your opponents. The first player that matches 5 Tentacle cards wins.

Questions and answers
Tentacolor 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 Tentacolor is 15 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 Tentacolor for ages 4 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.
Tentacolor has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
