About the game
Goal : - Collect 50 Aare, - OR possess the perfect combination, i.e., all different equipment and an Arcane Stone. A turn consists of 4 phases: - Supply: Receive 5 Equipment cards, or more depending on your upgrades. - Trade: Choose 3 of your cards and reveal them. The highest total value determines the trade master. On your turn, choose a card from another player and add it to your hand, or trade it with the market. The player from whom you just took a card then takes a card from another player, and so on until all the cards have been taken. - Combination: Create a combination of at least 3 identical cards to gain Aare AND a combination of at least 3 different cards to obtain one of the available upgrades. End of Turn: Discard your unused cards and gain Aare based on your upgrades.

Questions and answers
TRÖK 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 TRÖK is 40 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 TRÖK for ages 10 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.
TRÖK has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
