Any number of participants can play the Thinkers board game, but if there are a large number of players, it would be advisable to split into teams. The teams, in turn, take one card with the task, which indicates the topic, difficulty, i.e. the number of victory points, and the task itself. After that, all team members jointly begin the discussion. The complexity of the tasks varies from one to five points, so the developer recommends to allot from 3 to 15 minutes to find solutions, respectively. The team can check the correctness of its answer on the reverse side of the card, then move on to the next team. At the request of the participants, the game can last for a certain time or end immediately after one of the teams scores a predetermined number of points.
