Family-Focused Set Collecting Creators by Grandpa Becks Review

You know when you open a new deck and read the rules and it seems like it could be something complicated? And that sense of doubt creeps in when you're just certain that THIS game can't possibly be as fun as all the reviewers have been saying? Were they wrong? But you reluctantly decide to play the round and "see how it goes". That was us, and by the end of the first lap. we were hooked. JOINED! Me, my husband and our children. We've played this game every night since we opened it. And if one…

My best friend came to visit with her family and we played this game together for a few days. As they left and I waved them goodbye, I came back to find that my friend had used a piece of paper, gift-wrapped the game, and written a nice thank you note on the paper. BEST. GIFT. JE! We bought about 5-6 games. We took a copy to send to her daughter for the swimming competition. We sent a few sets with my daughter when she entered college. Everyone loves Cover Your Assets! We also love all of…

So two things: First, this game is so much fun! I first played it during breaks at work and we had so much fun! It's a really fun game to participate in and it's different, unique and so much fun! Then I bought the game for my family and we have equal fun playing it! Now we always look forward to game nights and we don't have a game night without this deck of cards.

Calling people who like to steal "sadists" is kind of odd considering it's a core component of the game, you have to be good-natured to other players in order to have fun. But I just frankly disagree with the general conclusion that the game is

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…

. So I thought I should buy it and give it a try. I ended up putting this game in the same category as Cards Against Humanity. Some people will like the malicious nature of the game, but I prefer games that are a bit softer, lighter, and encourage positive social interactions. (A more familiar version of this game is called "Goat Lords" and has similar rules, but it feels stranger and the young man is less likely to be crushed like a bug.) (Please see the attached images.) The rules are…
