This is literally my family’s favorite game now! It is so much fun and easy to learn plus the games don’t take forever to play! Our personal favorite card is Tigress-go buy this game to find out what she does!

It’s a fun strategic game that many different ages can play

So fun! Took a short time to learn. Fun for the whole family. Youngest daughter is 9, she picked it up quick.

GREAT game. Easy to play and understand. My family loves this game and we play it all the time.

Really recommend this game as an easy gift.lots of fun and repayable as with all of grandpa becks games

Really fun game! We enjoy it a lot!

My wife and I play a lot of games. And my kids play games with us. I grew up playing a game we called Knock or Mormon Bridge and this is an enhanced version of that game!! Skull King is similar to other trick playing games like Rook or Spades, in that players give a bid for the number of tricks they will take. In Skull King, the bid is done at the same time... We still knock on the table with a 1...2...3... BID. You then get points based on the accuracy of your bid. In Skull King there are bonus points for sluffing (bidding zero). There are cards that allow you to sluff or take. There are also cards with points on them. And there are the pirates that take all, with the Skull King who trumps all pirates and gets extra points for recruiting pirates played that trick. All of the variations make this game a lot of fun and totally worth buying! CONS: The many special cards make the game less predictable than traditional trick-taking games. My wife doesnt much like the added variation. This does make the game not quite as serious and slightly less strategic. PROS: The game moves pretty quick. Good for groups and all ages. Its got a good amount of strategy but the play is still easy going and fun. You cant help but smile when you get punked by the Skull King. If you like trick-taking card games then you will probably like this game. For the money, the simplicity, the age range, and the number of players I give this game 5 out 5 stars.

Lots of fun!

Too many - if this than that’s,

Weve been playing this game for a couple years now with the whole extended family, everyone loves it and it is a incredibly well rounded trick taking game. Love that you dont have to have a good hand to win. The directions can be daunting to someone new to the game but after playing a few hands its easy. Lots of game play options included in the directions including the ability to play with or without additional special cards.
