About this board game
Wanted Wombats is a 15-minute card game for 2–5 players about predicting the top card of a small deck.
Players begin by predicting what the next card will be. The card is then revealed, putting each prediction to the test. If a player is correct, they momentarily collect the card and face an important choice: continue predicting or stop.
Continuing gives players the opportunity to collect more cards, but an incorrect prediction has a serious consequence. If a player guesses incorrectly, they lose the cards they have collected. This creates a simple decision point between pushing ahead and stopping with a growing collection secured.
- Players: 2–5
- Playing time: 15 minutes
- Core mechanic: Predict the top card of a small deck
- Goal: Collect $15,000 worth of wombats
The game keeps its central challenge clear and focused: make a prediction, check the revealed card, and decide what to do next. Correct predictions let players collect, while incorrect ones can wipe away the cards gathered so far.
The first player to collect $15,000 worth of wombats wins. With its compact play time and straightforward prediction system, Wanted Wombats offers a quick contest built around card reveals, collecting, and carefully timed decisions.
Released in 2022, Wanted Wombats is suited to groups of two to five players looking for a brief game where every prediction can change the state of a player’s collection.
