About this board game

Gnomes at Night is a 15-minute board game for 2–4 players about guiding two crashed aliens through a cornfield to recover twelve items for their spaceship.

Mino and Tauri have landed on Earth and need help getting home. To begin, one of four magnetic game boards is placed vertically between the two active players. The two characters are positioned on opposite sides of the board, creating a shared challenge viewed from different perspectives.

Players take turns leading Mino and Tauri through the cornfield. The goal is to collect all twelve items while keeping the characters inside the boundaries of the playing area. Every move matters, since stepping out of bounds can make the journey more difficult.

  • Players: 2–4
  • Playing time: 15 minutes
  • Game boards: Four magnetic boards
  • Objective: Recover twelve items before the sandtimer runs out

With more than two players, turns are organized using colored team cards. This gives additional players a way to take part while the active players guide the aliens through the magnetic maze.

Can you help Mino and Tauri find everything they need in time? With its vertical board, opposing viewpoints, boundary-focused movement, and ticking sandtimer, Gnomes at Night presents a compact rescue mission where careful guidance and speed are both important.
