Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I missed out on the kickstarter, but grabbed a couple copies of this game as soon as it was available on Amazon. It's tons of fun to play, even with only 2 players. Games are short (5-10 minutes). Compared to other fun, short games like Love Letter, there is more strategy. It also scales up well if you have more people. It's hard to find a bluffing game that works with less than 5 people (I'm looking at you, The Resistance and Werewolf). The product/manufacturer descriptions do not describe this game very well. There are 5 different cards (and 3 copies of each). Each one gives you a special ability within the game. You are dealt 2 cards for your hand. The goal is to force your opponents to turn over (discard) both of their cards. Each turn you can choose to draw money from the bank or take a special action. Actions include spending money to force an opponent to discard, stealing money from an opponent and taking extra money from the bank. Cards can also be used even when it's not your turn to block others from taking certain actions. However, since all cards are dealt face down, you are free to pretend you have *any* card and can take any action you want. If someone challenges you, you have to either show that you have the card you claimed or you are forced to turn over a card (discarding it). If someone challenges you and you were telling the truth, they are the one who has to discard. If you were to exclusively play this game for a long time with the same group of people, it might start to get old. However, as part of a set of games you play on game night/lunch with coworkers/whatever, you could play this for years. Beginners can pick it up quickly and it slots nicely into small amounts of free time. The game uses a non-standard card size (65x100mm). If you want to protect the cards from wear, you can use Ultra Pro Special Size Card Sleeves or the more expensive Mayday Games 7 Wonders Sleeves. The cards are fairly sturdy and durable though, and the game comes in a stiff box. I would consider sleeving the cards anyway, since any card that gets scratched or bent will essentially ruin the whole deck. The box includes a set of reference cards and cardboard coins to use for money. To make the game more portable, you could summarize the actions on a piece of paper and use pennies.
