About the game
In Tesseract, mighty gods fight each other playing with the Tesseract and the balance of the Universe. The Tesseract is a cosmic cube in constant evolution; it controls all that exists in the Universe, things and beings. Each part of the Tesseract is defined by one of the three cosmic colors, which represent the three different qualities of the Universe: yellow is the ascending energy, blue is the descending energy, red is the expansive energy. By manipulating the Tesseract, the gods influence the balance and the destiny of the Universe. Players try to match the Equilibrium cards with the Tesseract’s arrangement, in order to score Power points. By playing Divine Interference cards they can rearrange Tesseract’s surface. At the end of the games, the player with most Power point is the winner

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Tesseract for ages 8 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.
Tesseract has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
