Trigger Warning is a board game released in 2025 for 2–12 players, 5–15 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Hugo Leblanc and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck, Player Elimination, and Memory.
A high-stakes memory game where strategy and risk-taking determine your survival. Outsmart your opponents by making calculated moves, shooting wisely, and using your resources to your advantage. In Trigger Warning, you have one goal: be the last survivor. Players build an 8-card gun magazine from a set of 13 chamber cards (6 CLIC and 7 POW!). On their turn, they may use any number of items and then target another player or themselves. Lose all 3 life tokens, and you’re eliminated. The game continues until only one player remains. Items are used to heal you, protect you, amplify damage, and even manipulate the magazine, turning the tide of the game in unexpected ways. Other game modes include Team, Expert and Scoring mode. Un jeu de mémoire à haut risque, où stratégie et prise de décisions font toute la différence. Surpassez vos adversaires en prenant des risques calculés, en tirant avec intelligence et en utilisant vos ressources à bon escient. Dans Trigger Warning, l'objectif est simple: être le dernier survivant. Les joueurs construisent un chargeur de revolver de 8 cartes à partir de 13 cartes chambre (6 CLIC et 7 POW!). À son tour, un joueur peut utiliser autant d'objets qu'il le souhaite et cible ensuite un autre joueur ou sur lui-même. Un joueur est éliminé lorsqu’il perd ses 3 jetons de vie. La partie continue jusqu’à ce qu’il ne reste plus qu’un seul survivant. Les objets peuvent vous soigner, vous protéger, infliger plus de dégâts ou même manipuler le chargeur, bouleversant ainsi le cours du jeu. De plus, d'autres modes de jeu sont inclus, comme Expert, Équipe et le mode Pointage. —description from the designer
Trigger Warning 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 Trigger Warning is 5–15 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 Trigger Warning for ages 14 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.
Trigger Warning has a complexity rating of 1.5 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.
