Review on AMIGO AMI20014 Playin' Possum by Jon Hill

In the end I liked this game more than I expected. I'm balancing at 4 stars but after checking my own rating and seeing how good it was for kids I have to bump it back up to 5 stars. I played this game with my 9 and 11 year old boys. The rules were a bit confusing for the first two rounds, but then things moved pretty quickly. The rules are pretty simple and I would compare them to a slightly more complex deck of rock, paper, scissors. You will receive 3 cards. You can accuse someone of stealing, you can try to steal, or you can be discreet. If you are caught stealing, you will be knocked out. If you falsely accuse a player of stealing, you will be KO'd. If you successfully steal three times and don't get caught, you win, but sometimes it's easier to incapacitate other players by successfully blaming them for the theft, or by convincing players to blame you, while actually playing it safe. was a lot of fun and I had a hard time stopping them from playing. Because the rounds went fast we were able to play in a bunch, so the kids were never _to_ invested_ in a game - like the tantrums we sometimes see in the youngest when he loses (oh who am I driving crazy - they both do it !) were not a problem. Packaging wise, my little "bin" was all the packaging I received in a Revain envelope, so one of the little wheels was broken and missing. It's okay, doesn't affect the actual game, but was surprised that there is NO package other than this one. The cards and rules EASILY fit back into the container, so it's actually really nice that this isn't a puzzle trying to put the game down. The cards appear to be of good quality.
