Toys and Games Reviews of Five Crowns
Customer Review: Cards anyone?
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is sort of a cross between Rummy and Phase 10. Phase 10 has more challenge to it though and players can be on different phases. This game is more simple and everyone is always on the same level. This is a great game for family with young teens, or when you want to pull out an after dinner party game that doesn't take a lot of thinking or skill just something to do while visiting. No complicated rules. Mostly luck of the draw rather than skill.
You play 13 hands of cards. The first hand has 3 cards dealt out and 3's are wild. You want to make either a run or a set just like in Rummy. The second hand has 4 cards dealt and 4's are wild. Of course it only takes 3 cards to make a set or run but with only 4 cards this hand will require 4 to a set or run. Fives will be the same. When you get to 6's however, you can have 3-card sets or 3-card runs, or a 3-card set and a 3-card run, or a 6-card set or run. This continues up to the last hand having 13 cards dealt and the Kings are wild, and you can make any size sets and runs as you want as long as they have at least 3 cards to them.
The game also contain jokers. So every hand has wild cards plus you can draw a joker to help you make those sets and runs. You can't lay down any sets or runs until you can lay down ALL your cards and go out, and you can't play on another's cards, only your own. You also have to discard to go out. Once someone has gone out everyone else gets one last chance to lay down cards and whatever you can't lay down gets counted against you. Jokers are worth 50 points, the others are worth face value, Jacks = 11, Queens = 12, and Kings = 13 points apiece. The person with the smallest score at the end wins.
It is a great game to take on a trip (portable/compact), and camping, and grandma's house, or have for a rainy day. It is also good for 2 players or more players.
Description of Five Crowns
Five Crowns is a fast paced ingenious rummy-like card game. Its double deck contains five 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 cards, is easy to learn. It starts with three cards and 3's are wild. The next hand has four 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. Remember, "the game isn't over 'til the Kings go wild!" Five Crowns is for up to 2 to 7 players.Card Games Toys
