Question 1

How long does a game usually last?

Accepted Answer

Hi,  it depends somewhat on the group size,  and the game is best with 4-6 players.  The game is played in a series of 'hands.' These can be played and enjoyed independently  or in sequence toward the final goal of one player gaining a total score of one million dollars.   Each hand would average 10-15 minutes and 45 minutes or so to complete the complete goal.  The game moves along quickly and many enjoy a quick 'game' whenever they have a few minutes!  I look forward to hearing how you enjoy it! Brent Beck,  aka,  Grandpa Beck

Question 2

How many cards are in the box?  To make the game for more people- Can I order just additional decks, and for what price?

Accepted Answer

Hello and thank you for writing. There are 110 cards in the box, two decks of 52. There is no specific limitation to the number who can play the game. The dynamics of it do change in very interesting ways with different numbers of players. With a small number of players play is more focused on making pairs. With larger groups there is much more back and forth, and more interesting interaction. The game plays well with up to 7 players as is, with 5-6 being ideal. With larger groups some people add in an extra deck or two. We usually just break into groups of 5-6 players instead of playing with 10 people at once, but that is just our preference. It can work both ways. Just give it a try and see what you think. I am confident you will have many a wonderful game night with this game. The game is $12.99 and comes in a very nice sturdy box. We don't really have the cards sold separately. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to write, or call. Please see the reviews to see what others are saying about our line of four family favorite card games.

Question 3

Can two people play the card game?

Accepted Answer

Hi, This is Grandpa Beck. Thanks for the question. There is no actual limitation that prevents play with any number of players. The box says 4-6 players, because that is the "sweet spot" that most people find ideal. The rule sheet does say, that if the game is played with 2-3 players, each player holds five cards in their hand instead of the four that is normally dealt. When played with fewer players, the game is more about making pairs. When played with more players, the game is more about capturing the most valuable stacks of assets. With larger groups valuable top sets of assets are often stolen and re-stolen many times. Each time a set is captured value is added as the cards used to challenge and defend go with the winning set. This added value adds a lot of drama and emotion to the game. There are many twists and turns as players use strategy to try and be the last one to capture the most valuable assets. Some players even play with larger groups. Others combine decks to give more options with large groups. We often divide a large group into two and them play off in a tournament. However you play, I hope you have a great time! This is a game that all ages can play and enjoy together and we love hearing about families and friends having great times with our games. If you get a moment we would love to hear from you with a review! thanks!

Question 4

how many can play

Accepted Answer

It is optimal with 5-6 players,  but 4-7 still works well also.  With more than 8 people you would want to get a second game and either add the two games together or play in two groups.  I am sure you will enjoy it.  Please call with any other questions.  206.498.1959 Grandpa Beck Merry Christmas!
