Tornei is a board game released in 2024 for 3–4 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Totsuca Chuo and its main mechanics are Trick-taking.
Tornei is trick-taking games, under the theme of joste. There are 14 cards in hand for seven tricks per deal, and players bid at each trick, using two cards per trick. Translated Introduction from the rulebook: In medieval Europe, the medieval jousting tournament was initially a training exercise and mock battle, but it evolved into a popular form of entertainment. Players take on the role of a powerful noble, leading a knightly order, and competing for honor through their order's victories. However, they also secretly bet on the outcomes of each match. This game is designed for fans of trick-taking games, particularly those struggling to grasp the strategy behind bidding, and aims to provide a beginner-friendly introduction to the world of trick-taking games.
Tornei supports 3–4 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 Tornei is 30 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 Tornei for ages 12 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.
Tornei has a complexity rating of 1.6 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.
