Customer reviews
A family favorite!
Five Crowns is a simple card game that combines the logic of Hearts, Spades and Rummy all into one game! The game is recommended for 2-7 players between the ages of 8 through adult. Much like the board game Monopoly, we have developed "house rules" to make the game a little easier and more enjoyable for our family and friends! The game is played with 116 cards consisting of 5 suits (Stars, Hearts, Clubs, Spades and Diamonds), 11 cards of each suit, but only ranging from 3 through King. There are also 6 joker cards in the game. Getting started... After shuffling all 116 cards (we bought a battery powered card shuffler to achieve this feat), we each pick a card and to see who will deal first (lowest card deals). Game Time... It's now time to deal the first round of cards. The game begins by dealing each person 3 cards for the first round. As the rounds progress, the number of cards increase by one and the dealer rotates clockwise so each person has a chance to deal. The first round each person has 3 cards, the next round 4 cards, then 5 cards, and so forth. The remaining cards are placed in the middle (face down) for the draw pile and the top card is turned over to start the discard pile. The first player has the choice to either take the card from the discard pile or take the top card from the draw pile. Either way, once that person takes a card, they must discard one. The object is to collect runs (3 or more cards in a row of the same suit) and/or books (3 or more cards of the same kind, regardless of the suit) and then go out as soon as possible. You can only "go out" if you're able to play ALL the cards in your hand by arranging them into books and/or runs. Once a player goes out, each remaining player has one last chance to either draw a card or take the discard to minimize their points. Wild cards are established by the current round. So, in the first round, 3's are wild, the second round 4's are wild, and so on through the King round. If you're not sure what's wild, just count the number of cards in your hand! Jokers are always wild. Scoring... The proper way to play the game states, "Each opponent scores the face value of every card that is not part of a SET or a book, plus 50 points for each joker and 20 for each current wild (that you're unable to use in a set or a book)." However, to make scoring easier for our family, we play with a slightly different house rule. Instead of receiving points based on the face value of the card, each opponent get 5 points for every card that is not part of a set or a book, 20 points for an unusable joker or wild card, and 10 points for 10's through Kings. The lowest score after the 11th (King) round wins. On average, each game tends to take between 45 minutes to an hour. Conclusion My wife and I never played card games, but after trying this game we find ourselves playing it every chance we get. When we have friends over, the adults tend to migrate towards the kitchen for 5 Crowns and beer. Adults love this game because it combines their favorite card games of Hearts, Spades and Rummy all into one. It provides them with the challenge to decide whether that a specific card should be used to make a book or go with two other cards to complete a run. Children like the challenge of making books and runs and the scoring is great for sharpening those addition skills. Finally, everyone loves that the game is never truly over until "The Kings go wild!" We play this so much, that I created an online scoring sheet to track the players and calculate the scores on my iPad, tablet, laptop, etc!

Fun Game For A Group Or 2 People
Purchased this game over a year ago and have played many times. We play with friends, family including grandchildren age 7 and 8. The game is portable and the cards are decent quality. We watched the video on you tube to learn how to play. It is an a very easy game to learn for those that are familiar with card games already. For those that do not play cards, it took them several rounds to catch on. It’s a great game to play when there are numerous people as you don’t need a specific number to play. Sometimes there are just 2 of us. For the kids, holding numerous cards can be difficult so you might want a card holder for them. Recommend purchase.

You need this game!
This has been a great game for family time. Starts out easy and builds as the game goes. The game is like playing other games so you can pick up the game play fast. Highly recommend this if you like a good game. Usually plays around the same length each time so planning game time is good. 39-45 minutes is normal for us per game. You can add 1-2 decks with larger amount of players. I think this game should be in everyone’s house!
