Wanted Wombats is a board game released in 2022 for 2–5 players, 1–15 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by 宮野 華也 (Kaya Miyano) and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck.
In Wanted Wombats, players are predicting the top card of a small deck. The card is revealed and if they are correct, they momentarily collect the card and can choose to continue or stop. If they are incorrect, they lose their collected cards. The first player to collect $15,000 worth of wombats wins.
Wanted Wombats supports 2–5 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 Wanted Wombats is 1–15 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 Wanted Wombats 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.
Wanted Wombats 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.
