Toys and Games Reviews of Five Crowns
Customer Review: Fun Card Game
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really fun game. Basically it's a rummy game with a few twists. It has five suits of cards, hearts, diamonds, spades, clubs and stars. It plays with jokers as wild cards. You start with three cards and work your way up to 13 cards. If you have three cards, the threes and jokers are wild. If you are dealt 4 cards, the fours and jokers are wild, and so on until you reach 13 cards where the kings and jokers are wild. When you get to 10, 11, 12, and 13 cards, you have to concentrate on making your hand and you can't go out until you can lay your entire hand down with a discard.
LOTS OF FUN. I'm leaving tomorrow for a 7 day cruise and I'm taking the cards with me. We played on our cruise last November and will play again this time.
ENJOY
Customer Review: Shows How Fun Cards Can Be
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend visiting from out-of-town introduced me to this game and gave it to me as a gift. It is very easy to learn as it is similar to traditional card games, but adds a new dimension or two. We already owned the game SET, created by the same company, and I highly recommend that one too (though you have to use your noggin a bit more). The great thing about Five Crowns is as other family members watched us play, they wanted a piece of the action as well. Even my five-year-old can play it to an extent.
The game takes about 30-40 minutes to play a full game, but you can really stop anytime you want. And unlike some card games, this game is just as fun with two people as it is with six. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Takes rummy to the next level.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really great family card game! We love to play card games, and our children even learned to recognize their numbers by playing when they were young. Five Crowns is similar to rummy, but takes it to the next level. We spent hours last winter playing it and our 6 year old was able to join in after observing one game. Each hand, the wild card changes, and there are five suits, (the usual 4 plus stars) so you really have to pay attention. The cards themselves are bright and beautiful. I would recommend this game especially to rummy fans who have mastered the usual version. It is also possible to play crazy eights, go fish, etc. with this deck for an interesting twist.Customer Review: Huge hit with family and friends!
Summary: 5 Stars
My friends and family love to play games, and we are always on the hunt for something new. I came across this game here on amazon, and it had great reviews and sounded fun so I took a shot and bought it for my mother. Everyone we have played the game with loves it. It is easy to learn and play, and can go by quickly. There have been times when we have sat and played over and over again for hours. Most everyone we have played with has bought one for themselves and their family members. After receiving the game herself, my mother has bought 3 more for 2 friends, and an extra one for us to have around the house. I highly recommend this game to those who just love fun card games.Customer Review: 5 Crowns
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is great fun and is a card game that we have been playing for at least the last 5 years. It has such a nice variety to it and is also great for teaching kids to count, to organize items, and to develop strategies to help them go out each hand and to compete is pleasant fun. It has become a "MUST HAVE" for anyone that we introduce it to. The only problem is that I bought this at Toys R Us and you can never find it there at the store. This keeps others from buying it and enjoying it. Thank goodness for Amazon.com-it was here that we took a chance and were pleasantly surprised to find it. We not only ordered 2 decks for ourselves but one for a gift for someone for Christmas.
