Esdevium HMS Dolores Card Game

Like another reviewer wrote, the game arrived with a ripped bit of cardboard on the interior... however, when you're paying under $5 for a game (because it's on sale) it's hard complain. Unless you're a collector purist this shouldn't be an issue.All cards and instructions are there.

Really really fun game!!!! Instant hit with me and my friends. Simple to learn and small box with zero fuss.You should buy this.

All about bidding with the other players and ending up with the most Loot, so some back stabbing, metaphorically speaking, could be in order.A fun, short game with quite a bit of replayability. I enjoyed it but must admit I haven't played it for some time.

Fun enough. Easy and simple mechanics. Just requires some forward thinking calculating and strategy. Definitely invites the potential for alliances, rivalries, and betrayal. Not terribly involved or complex, but it's perfect for those 15 minute games with the family.

The is very easy to pick up and play. But the rules make some choices almost never occur (handshake for example are clearly substandard choices). Cockroach Poker is a much better game with easier rules and my friends always go back to it. HMS was a novelty game which wore out quick.

The game is good fun and very enjoyable and I would recomment it, however, we always store games in their boxes, but this one arrived looking as if it had been opened and a poor attempt at repacking it, so it was rather disappointing.
