Blue Wasatch GamesClash of the Cards Card

I picked up this game on a whim. I was looking for games to play with my 7 tmyear old son while on an extended hospital stay and snagged this one. What I didn’t expect was for him to want to play this for hours on end. We started with eh simplified version in the rules (keeping all of the specialty cards out of the deck) so that he could get used to the mechanics. Then we started adding the specialty cards in one type at a time. I was impressed with how quickly he picked up the game and the strategy. This game is definitely our new favorite for family game night. All of the kids and even my wife look forward to playing it!

It's a funt game once you get the concept (we recommend watching the video - long but worth watching to understand) and as long as everyone "plays." We have made modifications to keep it from becoming boring/annoyed at other players. Two things to make it better: you can't draw on every turn - which if someone starts to do can mean amassing lots of great cards with no consequences really (they get lots of castles and things to defend themselves) - and playing to more than 1000 points. Our family can hit 1000 in two rounds easily and it makes for a very short, game. The concept overall is fun and good for a range of ages - definitely worth playing.

The game is excellent for 3/4 players but can also be played with 2 (due to the game mechanics it becomes less fun).The special cards in the game increase the complexity and fun and depending on the level / age of the players you can easily add/remove some from the deck.The card quality is above average, not the forever lasting plasticky ones but they feel solid in hand.The images / character designs are very well made and help kids get engaged.I am basing this review entirely on playing with kids and for this particular purpose this product is a good balance of fun/difficulty and great value for money with tons of replayability.

Fun little game. Purchased as a stocking stuffer for my 17 year old son. The game plays quickly. Involves both strategy and luck. Feels a little bit like Go Fish meets Old Maid. It's interesting enough for teens and adults but simple enough for elementary kids. It's joined Exploding Kittens and Goat Lords as our go to quick games.

Play with my husband and 10yo and 8yo sons. We looked at the instructions and were quite worried as they seemed intense. We actually picked it up pretty quickly and the game is a blast. The kids have no trouble playing and frequently beat the adults. The death card can switch up the game pretty good. Tons of fun playing this.
