About the game
Venture is a card game were you take on the role of a revolutionary scientist and attempt to complete your missions before your opponents. Each player needs to prepare their strategy and sabotage their opponents to win the Nobel Prize. It is not an educational game per se, but it does have some educational elements added for bonus! Each player starts with a role and nine cards. On their turn, a player draws a card from the deck and either adds it to his hand or does the event listed. Action cards are played and missions are completed by playing additional cards. The player who completes the most missions is the winner.

Questions and answers
Venture supports 3–6 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 Venture is 40–60 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 Venture 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.
Venture 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.
