The Line is a board game released in 2025 for 2–12 players, 10–15 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Frédéric Henry and its main mechanics are Cooperative Game.
Guess the numbers, fill in the Line. How much does a great white shark weigh? How far is the Earth from the Moon? How hot is the surface of Mercury? These figures have nothing to do with each other, but if you had to classify them, where would you put them on the Line? The Line’s principle is simple: each card has a piece of information on the front, and its corresponding numerical value on the back. Estimate the value, and place it correctly on a scale made up of the previous cards. In co-op mode, line up as many cards as possible! In competitive mode, be the first to get rid of all your cards! —description from the publisher
The Line supports 2–12 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 The Line is 10–15 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 The Line 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.
