Oink Games Canada

Oink Games is a Japanese studio known for putting a complete game into a box the size of a pack of cards. Deep Sea Adventure is a push-your-luck dive, Scout is a hand-management card game where you may never reorder your hand, Insider and A Fake Artist Goes to New York are social deduction, and DroPolter is played on reflexes.

Player counts run from 2 up to 10 and most games finish inside 30 minutes, which is why the line travels well. The listing gives the player count, the age rating and the playing time.

Oink Games Canada — frequently asked questions

Why are Oink Games boxes so small?

Deliberate design — the studio builds each game around a minimal component set, so a full game fits in a pocket-sized box. Nothing is missing; there is simply less of it.

Which Oink game suits a large group?

A Fake Artist Goes to New York takes 5 to 10 players, and Insider takes 4 to 8. Deep Sea Adventure and Scout are better at 2 to 6.
