About the game
Trophies is a quick, easy-to-learn party game for 2-30 players. In the game, the judge holds the deck, reads a topic from the back card, and shows the group a random letter on the front card. Be the first to say a word that matches the topic and the letter and you win a trophy card! The player with the most trophies wins the game and gets to hoist the tiny metal trophy high above their head in triumph! The person who "tried their best" gets a participation trophy. That's all there is to it! You may be surprised by how simple yet addictive (and loud) this game can be. Great for Thursdays or other evenings when you want to play a game but don't have much time and want to jump right in! Trophies is the first in the "Games for Thursdays" line of party games by Facade Games. —description from designer

Questions and answers
Trophies supports 2–30 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 Trophies 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 Trophies 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.
Trophies has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
Trophies belongs to these categories: Word Game, Party Game, and Real-time. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules.

The credited designers of Trophies are: Travis Hancock and Holly Hancock. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.
