Five Crowns review

Five Crowns is a fantastic card game that has quickly become a favorite in our family. It's a twist on rummy with five suits, and the set collection aspect is familiar and engaging. The real fun comes from the constantly changing wild card rule, which keeps the game fresh and unpredictable.

I love how easy it is to learn, even for people who aren't big card game players. We've played with friends and family of all ages, and everyone seems to enjoy it. It's fast-paced, strategic, and definitely a game where a little luck can go a long way.

One of the things that I really appreciate about Five Crowns is that it can be played with a variety of player counts. It's perfect for a casual game night with two people, or a larger gathering with up to seven players. The game also scales well, meaning that the playtime is fairly consistent regardless of how many people are playing.

The quality of the cards is great, though I've noticed that they can wear down quickly, especially if you play as often as we do. I would recommend getting a second deck if you plan on playing frequently.

Overall, I highly recommend Five Crowns to anyone looking for a fun, engaging, and easy-to-learn card game. It's perfect for family game nights, casual get-togethers, or even just a quick game with a friend.
