You'll get a lot of fun - and variety - out of this great travel and party game. You get six great games in one ingenious deck of cards, packed in a compact, colorful tin. Every card in the 55-card deck contains 8 different symbols (things you might see while driving down the road), with a total of 50 unique symbols in the deck. There's a version of the classic road game in which players simultaneously flip cards, looking out the window to try to be first to match a symbol on their own card. The other five games make use of the fact that one - and only one - matching symbol exists between any two cards. The immediate aim is always to be the first player to spot a match and call it out, but the details and end-goal vary substantially from game to game. A crowd favorite was The Poisoned Gift, in which players race to search for a match between a draw-pile card and any other player's card. The player whose card is part of the spotted match receives the draw-pile card - a most unwelcome gift, since the winner once the deck is spent will be the player with the fewest cards. All 6 games are quick and easy-to-learn, fast-moving and fun to play. Enough action, variety, and fun to keep a group entertained indefinitely. For 2 to 8 players.
