Oh Crud Card Game

Game is not as fun as it sounded. But okay

We love playing this card game with friends and family. Fairly easy to pick up on and learn. The directions are helpful and easy to understand. Fun game that allows for both strategy and luck. Box, cards, and dice all seem durable. Standard card and dice size. The suits are fun colors, but also different shapes, allowing for distinction for someone who may be colorblind. For those who don't know what this game is, the best way I have thought to describe it is by relating it to other games. I see this as a mixture between Phase 10 and Skull King.

This game is only six rounds. Not very fun with only two people. We love playing spades, so we got the idea pretty quickly, but it is a different variation. What would be Trump in spades, I guess you would call Crud in this game and it changes every round by the role of a die or two dice, depending on the round. The first two rounds we thought the game was kind of stupid, because it seemed like there was no way for one person to win when the other person got so far ahead. My husband and I played by ourselves, just so we could learn how to play, so when the family gets together, we already know what we’re doing, then round three and four came and they were different, so it makes it interesting. Every round is different. The last round makes a world of difference. You can be losing badly and still win the game. Good family fun, but I would say for at least teenagers or adults to really get the full strategy of the game. I highly recommend not only reading the rulebook, but scanning the QR codes and watching the videos. If you’ve never played spades, the rules can be a little vague. Some things are not very clear, but it just takes some common sense to know the things that aren’t very clear in the instructions. The key is to not end up, taking the cards after everyone has laid down if there is “crud “in them, because you will get points, and the goal is to end up with the lowest amount of points. One thing that is not clear in the rules is if you throw off suit even if it is a higher card, you do not take those cards, because the person who leads the round determines the color or shape of the lead card. You must follow with that color or shape if you have it and if yours is higher with the number on the card, you take that round or stack of cards. if your number is higher, but it is not the lead color or shape you do not take those cards. It was OK with two people in the end, but I can’t wait to play with the whole family. It should be fun and not too complicated.

Super fun family game

This is such a fun game. Every hand is different, which makes it very exciting! People that have played this game at my house have ordered this game for themselves. It is a must if you love to play games!!!!!
