The award-winning Five Crowns game is one of the best card games you can find for adults, teens, and kids ages eight and up.

It’s part strategy game, part luck, full of fun, and perfect for family game night. This party game makes a fun gift for all ages. And remember…the game isn’t over ‘til the kings go wild! From the Manufacturer Five Crowns is a fast-paced ingenious card game. Its double deck contains 5 suits (the stars are new), but it has no aces or twos. This unique deck gives you many more options for arranging your hand into sets and sequences--the challenge is to see them make the right combinations, be the first to go out, then watch the others scramble as they get one last chance to cut their losses. Five Crowns, with its beautiful cards, is easy to learn. It starts with 3 cards and 3's are wild. The next hand has 4 cards and 4's are wild, and so on. You'll need luck and skill throughout the game because even in the last hand a worthy opponent can come from behind and win. Remember, "the game isn't over 'til the Kings go wild."

A family favorite!

Five Crowns is a simple card game that combines the logic of Hearts, Spades and Rummy all into one game! The game is recommended for 2-7 players between the ages of 8 through adult. Much like the board game Monopoly, we have developed "house rules" to make the game a little easier and more enjoyable for our family and friends! The game is played with 116 cards consisting of 5 suits (Stars, Hearts, Clubs, Spades and Diamonds), 11 cards of each suit, but only ranging from 3 through King. There are also 6 joker cards in the game.Getting started...After shuffling all 116 cards (we bought a battery powered card shuffler to achieve this feat), we each pick a card and to see who will deal first (lowest card deals).Game Time...It's now time to deal the first round of cards. The game begins by dealing each person 3 cards for the first round. As the rounds progress, the number of cards increase by one and the dealer rotates clockwise so each person has a chance to deal. The first round each person has 3 cards, the next round 4 cards, then 5 cards, and so forth. The remaining cards are placed in the middle (face down) for the draw pile and the top card is turned over to start the discard pile.The first player has the choice to either take the card from the discard pile or take the top card from the draw pile. Either way, once that person takes a card, they must discard one. The object is to collect runs (3 or more cards in a row of the same suit) and/or books (3 or more cards of the same kind, regardless of the suit) and then go out as soon as possible. You can only "go out" if you're able to play ALL the cards in your hand by arranging them into books and/or runs. Once a player goes out, each remaining player has one last chance to either draw a card or take the discard to minimize their points.Wild cards are established by the current round. So, in the first round, 3's are wild, the second round 4's are wild, and so on through the King round. If you're not sure what's wild, just count the number of cards in your hand! Jokers are always wild.Scoring...The proper way to play the game states, "Each opponent scores the face value of every card that is not part of a SET or a book, plus 50 points for each joker and 20 for each current wild (that you're unable to use in a set or a book)." However, to make scoring easier for our family, we play with a slightly different house rule. Instead of receiving points based on the face value of the card, each opponent get 5 points for every card that is not part of a set or a book, 20 points for an unusable joker or wild card, and 10 points for 10's through Kings.The lowest score after the 11th (King) round wins. On average, each game tends to take between 45 minutes to an hour.ConclusionMy wife and I never played card games, but after trying this game we find ourselves playing it every chance we get. When we have friends over, the adults tend to migrate towards the kitchen for 5 Crowns and beer. Adults love this game because it combines their favorite card games of Hearts, Spades and Rummy all into one. It provides them with the challenge to decide whether that a specific card should be used to make a book or go with two other cards to complete a run. Children like the challenge of making books and runs and the scoring is great for sharpening those addition skills. Finally, everyone loves that the game is never truly over until "The Kings go wild!"We play this so much, that I created an online scoring sheet to track the players and calculate the scores on my iPad, tablet, laptop, etc!
