It works best with a 5-star rating. 6 players are required, but only 4 are required. 7 is also a good choice. If you have more than 8 people, you should get a second game and either combine the two games or play in two groups; either way, I'm sure you'll have a good time.

Hello, it varies depending on the size of the group, but the game works best with four players. There are six players in this game. A series of 'hands' is used to play the game. 'These can be played and enjoyed separately or in order to achieve the ultimate goal of one player accumulating a one-million-dollar score.' The average number of hands would be ten. The goal should take between 15 and 45 minutes to complete. The game moves quickly, and many people enjoy a quick 'game' when they have a few minutes to spare! I'm excited to hear what you think! Brent Beck, also known as Grandpa Beck, is a well-known figure in the community.
I'm Grandpa Beck, and I'd like to welcome you to my website. Thank you very much for your query. There is no physical limit to the number of players who can play. 4- is written on the box. Because that is the "sweet spot" that most people consider ideal, there are six players. The rule sheet does state that if the game is played with two players, the game is considered a tie. When there are three players, each player has five cards in their hand instead of the usual four, and the game is more about making pairs when there are fewer players. When played with a larger number of players, the game becomes more about capturing the most valuable asset stacks. When working with larger groups, it's common to have valuable top-tier assets stolen and re-stolen. Many times it has been stolen. The cards used to challenge and defend the winning set are added to the winning set each time a set is captured, adding value to the game. This added value infuses the game with a great deal of drama and emotion. There are a lot of twists and turns as players try to be the last one to capture the most valuable assets. Some players even play with larger groups, while others combine decks to give large groups more options. We frequently split large groups into two and have them compete in a tournament. I hope you have a great time, regardless of how you play! This is a game that people of all ages can play and enjoy together, and we love hearing about families and friends having a good time with our games. We'd love to hear from you with a review if you have the time! thanks!
Thank you very much for taking the time to write. br>The box contains 110 cards, divided into two 52-card decks. The number of people who can play the game isn't restricted in any way. With different numbers of players, the dynamics of the game change in fascinating ways. When there are only a few players, the emphasis is on forming pairs. There is much more back and forth in larger groups, as well as more interesting interaction. As is, the game works well with up to 7 players, and with 5-players it's even better. The number six is the most ideal. Some people use an extra deck or two when they have a larger group. Normally, we divide into 5-person groups. We prefer to play with 6 players rather than 10 people at the same time. It can be used in both directions. Simply give it a shot and see how it goes. I'm confident you'll have a lot of fun with this game. br>It costs $12 to play the game. It costs $99 and comes in a nice, sturdy box. The cards are not available for purchase separately. br>Please do not hesitate to write or call if you have any additional questions.

TRAINWRECK! Oh my God, TRAINWRECK! , so let me get that out of the way first. br>br>Basically, the entire game is made up of matching. You lay down cards that are similar to each other. This is something you take care of. A LOT! You match after match after match after match after match after match after match after match after match after match after match after match after match after match after match after match after match after The ability to steal other people's sets is supposed to be what makes this game interesting, what makes it truly spectacular (they say), but the only people who enjoy stealing are sadists. You do so by doing (you guessed it) the following: a greater number of matches You can fend off the thief by matching more of your own cards, and this can go on indefinitely until you realize how boring the game is. It's kind of like UNO, but without the interesting special cards (reverse, skip, etc. ) or Bingo if you weren't playing for real money. br>br>That's all there is to it. That's all there is to it. I'm not making this up. But then you add these extra elements to an already boring game to make it even more boring:
- You begin with a very small hand of four cards, the smallest of any game I've ever played. As a result, there's only a smidgeon of a There is no way to save cards for later use because you will almost certainly have to discard them.
- The wild cards are "gold" and "silver" cards that act as wild cards and are not called wild cards. It's not required. Why not simply refer to them as wild cards, which is exactly what they are?
- The goal is to amass $1,000,000, but that's a fairly large sum. Because few people can do mental math, you'll almost certainly need to use a calculator. Monopoly and other similar games are better at using smaller amounts so that things don't get too complicated.
- This is the only game I've ever played where you discard first, then pick up a card, and finally have your turn end. That is extremely perplexing. Picking up a card, discarding it, and then turning ends is how most people play. It wouldn't bother me if there was a point to it, but there isn't one. BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BO-BO RING. The key to enjoyable games is variety, the number of possible outcomes, etc. With this monstrosity, you know you won't be doing anything other than matching cards to other cards, or at least attempting to do so. br>br>The only reason I didn't give it a perfect score is because I didn't think it was good enough. The artwork on the cards is pretty cool, which gives them an extra star. If necessary, you could make this into a improvised Go Fish or Old Maid card game for the kids. br>br>Apart from that, I'd stay away from this one.
My best friend and her family came to visit, and we spent days playing this game together. After they left and I said my goodbyes, I returned to find my friend had wrapped the game in paper and written a lovely thank you note on it. BEST. GIFT. EVER! br>br>We've made a five-figure investment. This is game number six. My daughter and I made a copy to take to swim meets with her. When my daughter left for college, we sent a couple sets with her. Cover Your Assets is a game that everyone enjoys playing. Grandpa Beck's games are also a big hit with us. Because we talked about him so much when we met him, we thought he was a celebrity. br>br>The cards, case, and instructions are all well-made and durable - They're not going to last in a swim meet, though; )br>br>This year, we purchased 20 Grandpa Becks games as Christmas gifts for our neighbors. It felt great to know that I wouldn't have to make treats, that my neighbors wouldn't have to have any more treats to tempt them, and that they'd be getting something that would bring families together and build traditions.
This is a fantastic game. When you open a new card game and read the rules, it appears to be a nice-looking game. a bit difficult? And you get that sinking feeling that THIS game isn't going to be as good as everyone said it would be? Is it possible that they were mistaken? But, against your better judgment, you decide to play a round and "see how it goes. " By the end of the first round, we looked like this. We couldn't get enough of it. HOOKED! My family consists of my husband and me, as well as our three children. We've been playing this game every night since we first got it. If one of us isn't feeling up to it, the other three will play a round, but the fourth will soon join them. It's exciting, addictive, and fast-paced. I'm glad I gave it a try because it's one of the best new games we've played in years!.
I saw a slew of overwhelmingly positive reviews for the game "Cover your A$$ets," and I'm a gamer. As a result, I decided to purchase it and try it out. br>br>At the bottom of the page- line up- I put this game in the same category as "Cards Against Humanity" on the front end. "Some people will enjoy the game's vicious nature, but I prefer games that are a little gentler and lighthearted, and encourage positive social interactions. " br>br>(A more family-friendly version of this game is called "Goat Lords," and it follows the same rules as the original, but with a wackier feel and less chance of a young child being crushed like a bug. ) )br>br>(Please see the attachments for more information. )br>br>( The rules are straightforward. )br>br> There are various assets ranging in value from $5,000 (piggy bank,. ) up to $20,000 (house, car, etc. ). ), as well as gold and silver wild cards. (Neither is designated as a wild card, despite the fact that the rules specifically mention gold and silver wild cards. ) )br>br>Now it's your turn to: (1) take a card and discard a card, (2) lay down a matching set (two like cards, or a card and a wild card) and draw two cards, (3) challenge another player's top set by playing either a matching card or a wild card, or (4) challenge another player's top set by playing either a matching card or a wild card. br>br>Challenges can be countered by the defending player playing another copy of a card matching the set, br>br>The first time we played, we spent the majority of our time trying to improve our own hands and scoring stacks by playing carefully. There were a few challenges, but they were minor in comparison to the rest of the game. br>br>In game 2, the entire focus shifted to hoarding wild cards and ganging up on one or more players to steal all of their matching sets (except the first, which is always safe). The game was always focused on a few high-value assets, such as the $20,000 house. br>br>There were three generations of players with significant age differences. Despite the fact that the rules state that it is suitable for children aged 7 and up, I recommend it for children aged 14 and up due to the game's vicious nature. br>br>Our twenty-first year has brought us a lot of joy. somethings like the game, and they had a lot of fun crushing each other until. It had gone too far, and there had been a three-day period of non-compliance. During the holidays, there was a verbal spat. br>br>If you like "Cards Against Humanity" and seeing hope fade from your opponent's (er, opposing player's) eyes, you'll enjoy this game. "Goat Lords" or "Apples to Apples" are, in my opinion, better family games.
