Our Favorite Card Game (+ Update)
Original review from September 2008:A few years ago (I help with students at church) another leader brought a pack of these cards and suggested a few played.... I joined in and was hooked... So I purchased a pack of these cards for my game collection. I have had ages 8-88+ play this game and have never had anyone who didn't love it.Game Play:Phase 10 is sort of like Rummy backwards. Each player (2-6 players) are dealt 10 cards. You then lay the remaining cards face down in the middle and flip one card face up.On your turn you must pick a card up (either the one laying face up in the middle or one from the pile) and discard one face up in the middle (covering the previous face-up card).Your goal is to go through the 10 phases:(*As a note: a set is the same numbers (ie a set of 3 would be 4&4&4 or 8&8&8.... A run is a numerical order (ie a run of 4 would be 1&2&3&4 or 9&10&11&12)1. 2 sets of 32. 1 set of 3 & 1 run...

My granddaughter, age 13 has this game and she taught me how to play. After a few practice rounds I understood how to play. The way she had learned to play was with a couple of the rules made up which I thought only added to the enjoyment. Even if you use only the instructed rules its fun. The made up rule was you can take a discard as long as the present player doesn't want the card. The catch is you have to draw a card along with the discarded one. If more than one player wants it, it goes to the player next in line to play. Another made-up rule was variation of the phases, which is fun to do also. I have played many times now and I still have to use the phase card to remind me of what the phase requires. Its a great family game, but I think children under the age of 8 might have a hard time understanding it. For the low price you receive many many hours of family/friends entertainment. I highly recommend Phase 10. I am buying a replacement game today because the cards are...

Fun for kids and adults
I'm in my mid-20s and I love this game. I play it with my family on weekend trips, and it's a fun way to pass the time. It's fairly simple with a slight learning curve. Once you've played a few rounds, it makes sense. It requires some strategy, which keeps it interesting, and it's nice, because you can play it with just two people or six. The more people you have, the more fun it is. I definitely recommend this game.
