The Five Suited Card Game! -- The Games isn't Over 'Til The Kings Go Wild!

It starts with 3 cards and 3's are wild. The next hand has 4 cards and 4's are wild, and so on. You'll need luck and skill throughout the game because even in the last hand a worthy opponent can come from behind and win.

From Parents' Choice®
It's somewhat like rummy. Each succeeding hand is played with one additional card; the number of cards dealt determine which card is wild: e.g. when players begin with three cards, the 3's are wild; with four cards, the 4's are wild and so on up to thirteen cards, when Kings are wild. (Ruth B. Roufberg, Parent's Choice®, 1996)

Product Description
Five Crowns is a fast-paced ingenious rummy - like card a game. Its double deck contains 5 suits (the stars are new), but it has no aces or twos. This unique deck gives you many more options for arranging your hand into sets and sequences. The challenge is to see them make the right combinations, be the first to go out; then watch the others scramble as they get one last chance to cut their losses.

Five Crowns, with its beautiful, colorful cards, is easy to learn. Start with 3 cards -- and 3s are wild. The next hand has 4 cards and 4s are wild and so on. You'll need luck and skill throughout the game because even in the last hand a worthy opponent can come from behind and win. Remember, "the game isn't over 'til the Kings go wild!" For up to 2-7 players.

Reader Reviews
Durability: Fun: Educational: This game is made by the same folks who make Quiddler, which is why I picked it up. Basically, the game is a mix of Quiddler and rummy. You start out with three cards, where the three is the wild card. You go all the way up to thirteen cards in subsequent hands, where the king is the wild card. Your goal is to go out by having three of the same card (i.e., three kings, three tens, etc.) or having a run of cards in the same suit (i.e., 4, 5, and 6 of diamonds). The twist is that there are five suits: diamonds, hearts, clubs, spades, and stars. The winner of the game is the person with the least points (each card is assigned a point value and if you're left with cards in your hand, you have that many points). As with Quiddler, this is a simple, addicting game. You can play many games in a row, many nights in a row and not get tired of it. It's easy to take on a trip, as you only need room for the deck and a discard pile. Also, the design of the cards is very aesthetically pleasing, as the jacks, queens, kings, and jokers look like characters out of a storybook and all of the cards are colorful. If you're looking for a new game for your collection and don't want to spend $30, this is the game for you! Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
