A Family Tradition Posted 12 December 2008
My family has been playing Phase 10 for years. It's a great card game, especially after a holiday meal when everyone is sitting around catching up, and looking to be doing something fun with a little friendly competition while chatting it up.
Our Favorite Card Game! Posted 14 September 2008
A few years ago (I help with students at church) another leader brought a pack of these cards and suggested a few played.... I joined in and was hooked... So I purchased a pack of these cards for my game collection. I have had ages 8-88+ play this game and have never had anyone who didn't love it.
Game Play:
Phase 10 is sort of like Rummy backwards. Each player (2-6 players) are dealt 10 cards. You then lay the remaining cards face down in the middle and flip one card face up.
On your turn you must pick a card up (either the one laying face up in the middle or one from the pile) and discard one face up in the middle (covering the previous face-up card).
Your goal is to go through the 10 phases:
(*As a note: a set is the same numbers (ie a set of 3 would be 4&4&4 or 8&8&8.... A run is a numerical order (ie a run of 4 would be 1&2&3&4 or 9&10&11&12)
1. 2 sets of 3
2. 1 set of 3 & 1 run of 4
3. 1 set of 4 & 1 run of 4
4. 1 run of 7
5. 1 run of 8
6. 1 run of 9
7. 2 sets of 4
8. 7 cards of one color
9. 1 set of 5 & 1 set of 2
10. 1 set of 5 & 1 set of 3
The goal is to lay down your phase (phase out) and then get rid of the rest of your cards (go out) before anyone else.
If you do not phase out you must continue the next round on the same phase you were on. (Ie if you don't phase out on phase 1, although everyone else is on phase 2 you are still on phase 1.)
I can't rave about how much fun this game is... You can make house rules, keep points (1-9= 5 pts, 10-12= 10 pts, Skips= 15 pts, & Wilds=25 pts... person with the least amount of points in the end win), play a half game, etc...
If I could own only one card game it would be Phase 10.
Buy Deluxe Version From Target Instead! Posted 29 August 2008
A day after I bought this I was walking through Target and saw the deluxe version for about the same price. Ugh! The deluxe version is much better as it comes in a durable tin and has separate cards for each player to keep track of their phase. Don't make the mistake I did of buying this overpriced version.
I love Phase 10! Posted 19 June 2008
I absolutely LOVE this game! So fun! It's kind of like Rummy and Uno combined and on drugs. It's about 1 hour with two people and I would say it adds about 30min per additional person playing. I played with 5 people a couple of times and it was a LONG game. But we had a bottle of wine open, so it was a good night :). It's not very easy to explain the rules, but you understand the game after one phase.
Great Card Game! Posted 15 February 2008
I had never heard of this game until my friend brought it over one night. I was immediately hooked on the game. I've always enjoyed playing cards, so having a new card game in my repertoire is a bonus. There was only two of us playing and it was fun, but as I read other reviews I look forward to playing it with a larger group of people. I am going to buy my own deck and have it on hand around the house, and bring it on the family vacation over the holidays. The game has a combination of elements that will make it fun for everybody. It is essentially a great twist on the classic game of rummy. Learning the game is relatively quick, and you will see how it works after a few rounds. Once you've caught on, you will be coming up with your own additional "Phases" in no time! I enjoyed the game very much, and wanted to write this review to get the word out there and have other people give this game a chance. I hope you find it as enjoyable I do.
