Review on ๐ŸŽจ Matty Splash Card Game by Mattel Games by Ryan Nguyen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

5 Star Game, 4 Star Implementation

PROS: Great idea for this classic family game! Images on durable plastic cards are bright and easy to read. Loved the included carabiner to hold all the cards together! In the end, however, it was stored in a zipper. CONS: (1) It would be better if the finish was matte with few teeth. We took it on a beach vacation but didn't use it on the beach. Played indoors first and found the cards too smooth to shuffle and handle well. To shuffle the cards well enough, we put them face down on the table and shuffled them like dominoes. (2) It would be great if the deck included a card or two with instructions and symbol legend to help players unfamiliar with the game. The way this deck is made with storage holes on the included carabiner makes it harder to keep the box and paper instructions intact once everything is unpacked.
