Clubs joins the ranks of easy-to-learn, fast-moving card games that have long been a staple of household fun. It also plays extremely well across a broad range of ages and can include quite a few players, making it a great game for the entire family to enjoy. The goal is to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible and to score points by winning clubs cards. Play moves along rapidly, with players placing cards face up on the table aiming to win tricks in the vein of classic card games like Hearts and Spades. The special Clubs deck has some nice twists such as Bonus Cards (in several point values), with the highest of these collected by the first players to go out, and a unique, playful design that includes point values on all the clubs cards as well. Scoring takes place at the end of each round, and the player with the most points once someone breaks 50 wins the game. The instructions (very easy to follow) spice things up with excellent play variations, including Crazy Clubs, a version that leads to even more boisterous fun. For 2 to 6 players.
