Customer reviews
Simple but effective card game.
I bought this as a filler game when I was having friends over for the weekend. Even though it was intended as a filler I had my friends asking to play it a few times throughout the weekend. Its a very simple game that anyone can pick up. It can be made with 2 normal playing card decks but its really nice having the set. It comes with all the cards you need with special styling for the Wizards and Jokers, scoring sheets, and rules. I would just watch a video to see how it plays but honestly I can't imagine someone hating this game. It is a very safe pick. It plays like any trump card game. The pacing of the game helps newer players learn the game very quickly. By the late rounds in the 1st game they should be completely competitive. I recommend mixing up how scoring works depending on your group. Maybe you make missing your bid a harsher punishment to encourage safer play or maybe you make winning tricks worth more to remove conservative play, or mix it up each round. My only cons for the game is it requires you to deal out hands that increase by 1 card each round until you are dealing out the entire deck. This is very tedious in the late stages of the game and honestly my group stopped around 10 rounds each time. You could very easily just put a hand size limit and play the rounds you would have played if you were giving out the entire deck.

Fantastic game!
We love this game! Huge hit in our family and extended family. It recommends ages 10+ but my 8 year old understands and enjoys! Also, the cards are sturdy. We have bought this multiple times, but only because my kids love it so much and have lost cards, and we also buy this as gifts for other people.
