Review on Family-Focused Set Collecting Creators by Grandpa Becks by Pedro Curtis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Boring, monotonous and not very varied

Oh my god, TRAINWRECK!, let me clarify that first. In fact, the whole game consists of matching. They pick up and discard the same cards. You do it. A LOT OF! You fit and you fit and you fit and you fit even more. What should make this game interesting, what should make this game really spectacular (they tell us) is the ability to steal other people's gear, but really, the only people who enjoy stealing are sadists. What you get is (you guessed it right): more compliance. You can prevent theft by picking up more of your own, and this can go on indefinitely until you realize how boring the game is. Something like UNO but with no special cards to make it interesting (flip, skip, etc.), or bingo if you haven't played for real money. That's all. That's the whole game. I'm not joking. But then you add these extra components to an already lackluster game to make it even more boring: - You start with a very small hand (4 cards), literally the lowest of any game I've ever played. As such, you have virtually no way of storing the cards you intend to use for possible future use, as you'll likely have to discard them at some point. " and "Silver" cards that act as wild cards. This isn't necessary. Why not just call them wild cards because they are? The goal is to collect $1,000,000 , but that's a pretty unwieldy amount. Few people can do such a thing in their heads, so you'll probably have to break out of the calculator. In games like Monopoly, it's better to use smaller amounts so you don't get confused. This is that only game I've ever played where (in many cases) you first discard a card, then draw a card, after that your turn ends. It's really confusing. People are used to drawing a card, discarding, then the turn ends. I wouldn't mind if it really had meaning but it doesn't. ok do it. The only reason I didn't give that one star is because the art on the cards is pretty cool You can also convert this to an impromptu Go Fish or Old Maid card game for kids. Otherwise I would avoid this game.

Pros
  • Robust workmanship
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
