Very much like playing the card game 500. It’s relatively simple to play and gets pretty competitive (depending on your teammate)
It can last for quite a long time considering the goal is to get to 1000 points. Saying that, if you get really lucky it can take 30mins or so.
Someone mentioned it being mostly about luck, but most card games are like that, no? For any people who want a new card game to add to the mix, this is your game.

A little bit trying to teach to new people and the bits are a bit fiddly. I haven’t lost any pieces yet (fingers crossed)
But once you get into it, you’ll notice the game is very well balanced and it has a mix of different elements from other games.
There are a few ways to win so you can always choose different strategies each time which keeps it fresh. It’s good for a ‘board game night’ and not so much a quick social play.

And you don’t need much brain power. Still a good old blast from the past.

Always a good way to start the night to get people warmed up. Especially for new acquaintances.

But does get a bit old during the finish. Like a ‘hurry up and finish so we can do something else’ vibe.

This game is good for getting people more social. Especially encouraging them during the trading phase to speak up!

Also very portable! This is a great game if you like being evil.

It’s awesome that you can mix it up now and again so it can be played over and over.
