You can see what the other players have, but not what you have yourself, so every order is made with just enough uncertainty to become dangerous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"419\" data-end=\"835\"\u003eOn your turn, you’ll choose one of two fruit orders to accept. But if the shop takes too many orders for fruit it doesn’t have, someone can ring the bell and call the manager over. Unfortunately, the manager is a huge angry gorilla. If there really are too many orders, the player who caused the problem gets in trouble. But if the order situation was actually fine, the player who rang the bell gets blamed instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"1046\"\u003eThat creates a funny little pressure cooker of deduction, memory, and bluffing. Do you trust that the fruit is available? Do you call the manager? Or do you quietly hope someone else causes the disaster first?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1389\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1058\"\u003eDurian\u003c\/strong\u003e is a quick, chaotic Oink Games title with a silly theme, simple rules, and a tiny handbell that makes every accusation feel official. It plays \u003cstrong data-start=\"1202\" data-end=\"1217\"\u003e2–7 players\u003c\/strong\u003e in about \u003cstrong data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1241\"\u003e20 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e and is recommended for \u003cstrong data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1276\"\u003eages 7+\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The idea of only seeing everyone else’s inventory while being blind to your own is a nice little twist, especially when players are all trying to decide whether the fruit shop has crossed into gorilla-emergency territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1737\" data-end=\"1910\"\u003eWe also like that the game gives players a big, funny physical moment: ringing the bell. That kind of component can make a simple game feel much more memorable at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"2092\"\u003eThis looks like one of those small-box games where the rules are easy, but the table energy does most of the heavy lifting. Fruit, panic, bell. Perfectly reasonable business model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"dj2fvu\" data-start=\"2094\" data-end=\"2119\"\u003eWhy You Might Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2121\" data-end=\"2266\"\u003eYou might like \u003cstrong data-start=\"2136\" data-end=\"2146\"\u003eDurian\u003c\/strong\u003e if you enjoy light deduction games, bluffing, memory, silly themes, and quick games that create a lot of table chatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2268\" data-end=\"2455\"\u003eIt should be a good pick for families, casual groups, Oink Games fans, and players who like games where everyone is mostly confident, slightly wrong, and one bell ring away from disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oink Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48161812742379,"sku":"ONKDRN","price":28.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/5250\/6261\/files\/durian-board-game-oink-games-5024067.webp?v=1777572666","url":"https:\/\/wiredvillagegames.com\/products\/durian","provider":"WiredVillage Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
