Why it works

Cousins, grandparents and classmates all know how to play it, and that is worth more than any new rule: you open it and play. This edition comes with blank cards for making up your own rules and a swap-hands card that turns the game on its head. It takes up to ten players.

Our verdict

Buy it as a small gift or to go with another present. As the only gift it falls short and may be a duplicate: in that case, Exploding Kittens is the better choice.
