About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Ready for a sweet and fun race? Brigadeiro is that game that transports you straight to a birthday party, you know? Except instead of waiting for the 'Happy Birthday' song to attack the sweets, we have to be faster than everyone else to snag the best treats! It's pure tension and memory, because in each round, everyone chooses a number with their hand and reveals it at the same time. If you're lucky, you'll bump into someone and secure your spot in line. If not, you might end up left behind, or worse, someone rats you out and you lose the chance to grab that brigadeiro you really wanted!
The goal is simple: assemble the most coveted candy collection at the party. But don't be fooled, the simple rules hide a fierce competition. Each round, the simultaneous number selection creates a dilemma: go with a popular number to ensure someone else bumps into it, or risk a less obvious number for a better chance to grab the candy before others? And be careful who you trust, because a 'betrayal' can cost you dearly!
With super fast games, lasting only 10 to 15 minutes, Brigadeiro is perfect to put on the table anytime. Whether to break the ice at the start of the evening, to liven things up between games, or to wrap up the game night on a high note. The art is charming and directly evokes childhood, with that Brazilian touch we love. It's a game that appeals to both newcomers to the board game world and veterans looking for something light and strategic to have fun with friends and family. Get ready for the sweetest competition of the year!
