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.

5 out of 5 stars Never get tired of this card game.   August 29, 2008
R. Krautbauer (Minnesota)
This card game is always changing, full of surprise, each time around you never know who will win. One minute things are going your way and the next hand can totally shift the outcome of the game. To play the whole 10 hands (which completes the game), it takes about 30 - 40 minutes time tops. The rules are very simple and easy to learn. It is really all based on luck so it is hard to 'pick' on someone during game play. No gray areas - you win...or you lose so it arguing is pretty much eliminated. Skills involved are matching and adding your points up at the end. Of course if you can manage to be the one that goes out each hand, then you won't have to add! When only 2 players play it really seems to change the feel of the game a little (still very good) than when 3 or more players are involved. Great game, good find!

Easy to learn card game fun for a variety of ages. Similiar to phase 10 but the game goes quicker. My 7 & 9 year olds can play this with their grandparents


5 out of 5 stars What a fun game for all ages!   June 23, 2008
N. Heap (Oklahoma)
I purchased this game because it sounded fun, but I didn't know that we would become addicted to it! We have played this game with a bunch of friends, family and even with the youth in our church and it is fun and entertaining for all ages! We love it! It is quick and easy to learn, yet challenging to play. Great family fun!


5 out of 5 stars Very satisfied customer   June 12, 2008
R. L. Rush (Concord, NH)
We have played this game with adults and teen age grandchildren with much enjoyment, and positive interaction (a rarity, given generational differences). Now we have added a new son-in-law (who professed to dislike "card ganes") to our enthusiastic company. We HIGHLY recommend the game!!! It teaches players to try strategies, to accept both winning and losing in delightful proportions....and promotes highly enjoyable interaction while engaged in it!


5 out of 5 stars Easy to learn. Great Fun   June 7, 2008
Moon Mom (Illinois)
Wizard Card Game
Our family has played Wizard for years and I was somewhat reluctant to purchase this game because I thought it would be too similar. I was very mistaken. This game provides a refreshing change in playing cards. They advertise that you can't tell the winner until the very last hand and that is absolutely true. This game is easy to learn, fun to play and keeps you thinking. Each hand has a different wild card value. If you enjoy playing card games, this game is a lot of fun and can be played by I think up to six players. If you are looking for another card game with equal fun value, check out Wizard.
