Scrimish Card Game - Strategy Games for Two Players Including Adults, Teens, Kids and Families That is Easy to Learn for Party or Travel

I really like this game. First let me say we have tons of games of all types so I only keep games I know I will play numerous times or regularly.I like the cards are well made and since it is just a deck of cards it is easy to take anywhere and store. My kids vary in age and we play several games daily. There are not that many two player games lately and this one is interesting. I play this with my husband but I also am teaching my younger son who is under the age recommendation and doesn’t get all the strategy but he likes to be challenged and is picking it up quick. He loves Rat Tat and this is similiar but more challenging. He will grow into it which I appreciate.I didn’t quite understand this game before I ordered it but someone else recommended it. To help understand...each player makes 5 piles of 5 cards with a crown card on bottom of one pile arranging the cards in each pile as they choose. Then each player takes turns attacking one of their opponent’s piles. If your card beats their card you keep your card and they loose their card. Turns are taken until someone exposes their opponent’s crown for the win. Given the 5 pile structure you set up yourself this game can be played many times without getting old. I have played numerous times every day since I got it and want to play more. So I don’t see it getting old like some games do. I ordered a 2nd set today to play with more people sometimes too.

My wife and I were looking for some simple games we could take with us on camping trips. We decided to give this one a try, and we absolutely love it. It only takes a few minutes for each round once you really get going, and it's a good game for trash talk. If you're looking for a simple game that is lots of fun and has a lot of replay value, this is a very good choice.

To sum this game up, it's basically like War, except that you have more than one deck, and you can stack it as you would like. There is also a memory component in the game which is kind of fun.I can picture taking this to a restaurant/pub and playing it while waiting for food to arrive because it doesn't take up a lot of space (just 7 stacks of cards per player. The game also finishes within 10 minutes. Since it's easy to learn, and ends quickly, it encourages players to try again with a new approach.Is it the best game ever? Nope. Is it the best game that can fit in your pocket, and finish in 10 minutes? It might be.

This is a great simple game with few rules that requires a lot of memory and strategy. Each player takes turn attacking the other players piles of cards trying to uncover and destroy their king. Who wins each fight is determined by the highest number on the card, a shield blocks, an arrow always wins when he is attacking but always loses when being attacked. The losing person in each battle discards their card and the winner keeps them in their stack to be used again. Those are the basic rules. This game is similar to war but the lower numbers make it much easier for even a child to learn. This game is quick and doesn't take long to play.

We are a family of game players - and Scrimish could vault quickly to the top of the list. From my 7 year old grandson (who only lost once) through this old lady - we had so much fun. Quick to pick up - easy to strategize. I bought 3 games - and gave them away to family members. Will get more. Only regret is that we didn't play a mad round robin game with 6 people at once. That will be next on our list. This is GREAT for all ages. Well done Nexci!!

This game is easy to learn. Goes quickly, but not an enormous amount of strategy involved. Fun to play once in awhile. Think our grandchildren may enjoy playing it with us.

This is a great game! You can play it as strategic as you would like or you can just play with a little bit of luck. Perfect game for two people. Takes long enough to become engaged but not so long that you get bored. I highly recommend the game. However, the instructions are very vague. Make sure you watch the video first so you have the picture of the game layout in your mind before you start.

Easy to learn. Not my fav game ever but it’s fun
