PHASE 10

Now I don't know how new this game is but it is new to us. We played this card game with our friends in Colorado and really had a good time. When you are up late it is nice to play a game where there is not that much strategy but enough thinking to make you sit up and take notice.
phase 10 is like that. You have 10 phases that you have to get through to win. Each person works on the first phase and if you complete the phase before someone goes out(gets rid of all their cards) then you move on to the next phase. If you don't complete the phase, the next round (when others are on phase 2) you are still working on phase 1. It is interesting because each phase is different from the last. For example the first phase's goal is 2 sets of three of a kind. So 3 3's or 3 4's etc. You have to lay them all down at once. Then you try to get rid of the rest of your cards. The next phase is something like a set of 3 and a run of 4 (1,2,3,4) like that. There are also wild cards and skip cards where you skip whoever you want to (usually the person winning) or if someone skips you you skip them right back! : )
So we ended up purchasing the game so we can take it on our next trip to play with the families.
Should be fun, so look out!
