The Game isn’t Over ’til the Kings Go Wild

  • Compact for traveling
  • This set of cards has a fifth suit of stars

This set from PlayMonster includes the basics for several rounds of Five Crowns, a card game where players compete to get the lowest score while increasing their opponents’ scores through books and runs. In each round, a card is designated as the wild card, which can affect the kinds of cards that can be played for a truly unpredictable play session. The set features 116 playing cards, game instructions, multiple score sheets, and a soft travel case with a carabiner clip to attach it to a backpack or carry-on bag.

The soft carrying case makes it easy to bring the game along to family events or friend get-togethers. It’s a great choice for game night, as players can have fun together without screens interrupting desired bonding time. The game can be played again and again with different, new outcomes due to the potential wild card possibilities and room for up to seven players. The addition of a fifth suit of stars makes this card deck one of a kind.

The set does not come with pencils or pens, so be sure to have writing instruments ready for your score sheets. Additional score sheet refills are available to purchase online.
