Review on Unleash Your Inner Creator with Skull King's Ultimate Kingdom by Kyle Rodman

A casual fun pirate trick game that will appeal to a wide range of players from adults to children. The basic mechanism is that players simultaneously bet on how many tricks they think they can win, making the rounds more exciting. Rewards for those who made their bets and penalties for those who didn't. This latest 2021 release adds some gameplay improvements including a two player option which I played with my 11 year old grandson who figured it out very quickly. misses, making some games a rollercoaster ride of shocks from behind. There are options that can soften the rocking if desired. The publisher's website has links to videos with rules. The cards have a high quality linen finish; the rules are presented in an appealing, clear and understandable manner. The only downsides are a fairly cumbersome scoring system that can confuse some younger players, and the need to shuffle a large deck between turns. So the game will start and stop ten times during each game, which is part of the game design but still breaks its flow. This is our second game from Grandpa Beck with a special focus on grandchildren. Their card game Cover Your A$$ets is also a big hit and is a bit more accessible.
