This is another great card game. It is simple, yet provides for some strategy with lots of chance by drawing cards of the top of the deck.Recommended

This is my second purchase of this game. We play so much the cards got worn. I'm sure I'll buy again after we wear these out.

After learning this game from one of my classmates on a study abroad program, I got it so that my family and I could play together. It took them about three guided rounds to really get the gist of it.It can take hours to finish a single game so it's a great way to pass the time, but that also means that it's best suited for older audiences. Despite the stylistic similarities to UNO and recommended age group on the box, it's really best suited for players 14+ years old.Pros:-Involves strategy + luck-Accommodates a big group of players-Long-lasting games (good for killing time)-Great for family with older kids (14+)-Lightweight, portable caseCons:-Too long and difficult for young kids-Long learning period-Very long games (takes less time than Monopoly but more than LIFE to finish all of the rounds)

My husband and I were looking for a small game to take with us on our cruise vacation that wasn’t just a deck of cards, and on the recommendation of a friend we picked this out. It was easy enough to slip the box in the beach bag and take it with us around the ship, and we made some new acquaintances with folks that would see us playing and would join us.Its easy enough to pick up the gameplay, and you can get really competitive as you go along. It’s great for kids as well as adults, whether it’s two players or a group. I recommend slipping a piece of paper in the box (and having a pen nearby) to help keep score and track what phase you’re on, or having your phone nearby and keeping track in the “notes” section. Or, if you feel like being nerdy, a set of 10-sided dice for the phases.I should also note that you may get the urge to play again after finishing a game, especially if you’re competitive like us and want a rematch. There’s been plenty of times, on the cruise and playing at home, where we’ve had two or three games in a row. Some phases go faster than others, which adds to the fun.I recommend this to everyone to add to their game collection!

Le 5 stelle sono per il gioco che trovo carino e coinvolgente. Una buona alternativa al classico UNO .Le istruzioni sono in inglese ma sono chiare e coincise , è comunque facile reperirle online in italiano (premetto che dopo aver letto le istruzioni in italiano le ho rilette anche in inglese perché a mio avviso sono più chiare in certi passaggi. Non è necessario un livello avanzato della lingua inglese per la comprensione).Noi abbiamo appena cominciato a giocare quindi non ricordiamo perfettamente le varie fasi ma non è un problema perché all'interno della confezione ci sono dei piccoli promemoria da distribuire ai giocatori (anche queste in inglese)La nota dolente , per me sono le carte : pessime come quelle di UNO. Gli angoli si rovinano facilmente , già dopo pochi giri. Sottolineo che mischiamo le carte noi adulti e che comunque il bambino ha 10 anni quindi perfettamente in grado di non sciupare le cose.Sarebbero perfette se leggermente plastificate o comunque dello stesso materiale delle normali carte da scala quaranta.A parte l'inconveniente della qualità della carta , consiglio l'acquisto

I remember playing Phase 10 when I was a kid, so I was so excited to give it to my children. They're much younger than I was when I started playing...they're ages 3 and 5. But they get it! The 3 year old still needs a little bit of help, but less than I expected. The 5 year old has picked it up and loves to play whenever we have some down time.The premise is simple enough: Each player is dealt 10 cards. During the first round, everyone needs to complete "phase 1" (which is 2 sets of 3.) Once you've accumulated and laid down your 2 sets of 3, you can play onto other people's sets to get cards out of your hand. When one person has no cards left in his or her hand, the round is over. All other players count the number of points left in their hands (an 8 = 8 points, etc.). Every player who laid down cards and passed "phase 1" will go onto "phase 2" during the next round. If you didn't pass "phase 1", you repeat it until you do. This game has a minimum of 10 hands, but in actuality it usually takes much longer. It's a fun game if you have time to invest, but it's definitely not quick like Crazy 8s or Uno.Aside from this game being awesomely fun and wasting hours of my 6th grade class time, it's a good counting/ matching/ sorting/ color recognition game. It's also fun for the whole family. It's basic enough that the kids can have fun, but complex enough that the adults don't get bored. I'd recommend this to anyone who is into cards, game nights, or family activities that don't require electricity!

I used to play this game a lot as a kid. I recall having a lot of fun playing with 4 players as it increases the difficulty in making your phases. This is a interesting card game since you are working against others but you may be trying to have a very different type of hand than your opponents. It's offers variety too. While it similar to rummy making runs and sets, there is a phase that work on colors and there are skip and wild cards like Uno.my daughter is 4 1/2 and since I purchased this game she has become a super fast learner. She knows the difference in a run verses a set and can follow her own phase card. She still has to set all the cards down on the table and work out the hand aloud (whether she is sorting them based on sets or runs). The last few times she has hardly needed any help and she knows when she should pick up from the discard pile or draw a new card. She hasn't yet been able to follow my playing style or determine which cards she should discard or wait and keep (which is a rather difficult skill to pick up on).But I was very surprised she can practically play on her own when the age group is for 7+.The item arrived in great condition. I wish there were more than just two phase cards in the box for more players. Regardless, it's a fun family game, we have gotten a lot of use out of this deck already!
