Wühltisch is a board game released in 2002 for 2–5 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Thorsten Gimmler and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Simultaneous Action Selection.
Its bargain sale season! Players become shoppers and looks for the right combination of shirts that match the preference listed on the shopping list card. Bargain items(cards) are piled up randomly just as they do on sales carts so players have to search for it to find what each player wants. All this is done in real time, so the players have to rush for the right sets of cards. The first player to gather 9 shirts(with right combination on 3 shopping list cards) can end the round by claiming "Sales Over!" This is great family game, easy to understand, and hectic too.
Wühltisch 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 Wühltisch is 45 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 Wühltisch for ages 7 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.
Wühltisch 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.
