   A day after I bought this I was walking through Target and saw the deluxe version for about the same price. Ugh! The deluxe version is much better as it comes in a durable tin and has separate cards for each player to keep track of their phase. Don’t make the mistake I did of buying this overpriced version.

   This is really a blast to play, particularly with more than 2 people. We take on cruises, planes, vacations; etc. The dice game is MUCH quicker than the card game, so if you don’t have the time or patience for the cards, I recommend this.

   This is a rummy-type game for nearly all ages. It is easy enough for the 8 year olds (it is rated 8+), but my college-age nieces and nephews love playing it, and it is the current “game night” choice for my adult friends. Because it works for a wide age range, it is a great game for families to play. You can play it with as few as two people but it is more fun and more competitive to play with a larger group.

   The cards come in suits of four different colors and numbered 1-12, with Wild and Skip cards. The game has 10 “phases” or “melds” (e. g. two sets of 3, a set of 3 and run of 4, run of 7, 7 cards of one color) and you need to complete them in order. If someone else goes out by getting rid of all his or her cards before you complete your current phase, you have to try again the next hand. When someone goes out, all the rest of the players have to count the points in their hands and add them to their scores. When you play with a larger group, it gets more difficult because it is more likely another person will go out before you have completed your phase and leave you with a handful of points.

   My friends and I enjoy playing it because it is not so simple as to be boring but not so complicated that we can’t talk and snack while we are playing.

   I like this newer version of the cards because the Skip cards are now black and not in the colors of the four suits, thus eliminating the inevitable argument that they should be allowed in the phase of 7 cards of one color.

   Fun game, cards similar to Uno, but different rules – a bit more difficult. The game can last up to 3 hours, but you can play fewer phases to make it shorter.

   Fun family game. It does take a while to complete the game, so plan an hour or so.
