Toys and Games Reviews of Five Crowns
Customer Review: Whole Family Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love games that combine luck and skill! The game itself is like Gin and Rummy in that you need to find sets or runs and each round progresses in a certain pattern (don't worry it's easy to understand when you start playing!). You need skill to see the possible sets you can create and play your hand properly to go out before your opponents. You also need luck, someone lagging all game can suddenly get good hands and, when played correctly, come from behind to win it all!
Great for groups of players with various ages. Easy to learn. Entertaining for hours. I would highly recommend this.
Customer Review: great game.....terrible cardstock
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a game that is a lot of fun and is easy to get into. Simple rules, simple scoring, easy to learn and the game never loses its luster with repeated playings. I have been playing this game regularly for six months and it is still the first game we play whenever any one comes over. My favorite feature of this game is that no matter what your score is you are almost never out of the game. I have played many a game where the leader all game bit the dust at the end. Its always great watching players reactions when some one goes out after drawing their first card. (...) Buy it you will love it!Customer Review: Fun Card Game
Summary: 5 Stars
There are two things that make this game hard. 1 - the number of cards in your hand increases every round (from 3 to 13). 2 - the actual cards are very slick when they are new. (I'm not sure if we've learned how to deal with that, or if they aren't as slick as they used to be)
We were introduced to this game by friends on vacation this summer. It is more of an older child game to adult rather than young child. It is very fun. I mean come one, if the complaint is the cards are slick, how bad can it be. Several people can play and it a real conversation controller, it is a lot of fun.

Summary: 5 Stars
Was looking for a fun two person game that could also be played with a group. We needed something simple to fill time while traveling. We were tired of the card games we already had. Spotted this one and read the reviews and decided it was worth a try. This game is indeed tons of fun. It is fun with two people or more. I think kids could play it as well, with partners for the younger ones. It is very random so it is hard to even try to predict who will win! Easy to master the few rules and the game strategy is different for 2 players than for 4 which makes it more interesting.Customer Review: Innocuous game of rummy that's mostly luck
Summary: 2 Stars
There are certainly worse games, but there are much better as well. Playing Five Crowns with 2 players didn't seem markedly different than simply playing Gin (actually, it was a little less fun because in Gin there are points on the line for going out first/knocking/undercutting). With 6 players the game took a long time, and there doesn't seem to be much skill in deciding whether or not to pick up the discard, nor in choosing which cards to keep.
I imagine kids might like making sets and runs, but for adults there are many other games that are much more entertaining.
