Ungeziffer is a board game released in 2018 for 2–4 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Kristin Mückel and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Dice Rolling, and Memory.
They're creeping and crawling everywhere! But exactly how many creepy-crawlies are there? Remember where the cockroaches, beetles, and their friends are hiding in Ungeziffer and add the vermin together. Be careful because you must find the exact number and not turn over too many vermin. The player who has collected the most vermin tiles at the end of the game wins. In more detail, on a turn a player rolls the two dice, adds the numbers, then turns over tiles one by one and adds the depicted vermin (0 to 9). The total must match the die roll without going over.
Ungeziffer 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 Ungeziffer is 10 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 Ungeziffer for ages 6 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.
Ungeziffer 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.
