Skull King Trick-Taking Card Game

This game is super fun for adults and kids. It seems complicated at first but is easy and quick to learn. All of my kids (under 12) were able to learn it fast and well enough to win against me. Our 5 year old can even play with a little guidance and reminders along the way.

I got to play this game with a couple friends and after a very small learning curve realized how much fun it is. I have since taught this game to a dozen other people and everyone loves it. Nothing wrong with other regular card games but this game add a little more excitement to a family/friend game night.

We really enjoy this game! My kids, ages 9-13, all enjoy playing. I like that it can be played with a few people or bigger groups. It's a bit complicated to learn at first but totally worth it!

If you like to play games with a strategy, this one is for you. Everyone we introduce the game to absolutely loves it. But even with strategy, you can get fooled in the end. Nothing is certain. Great for hours of fun. This is my favorite of Grandpa Beck’s games.

My family of 7 love this game! We had to buy a second one because we played it so much. There are several variations which keeps it interesting.

My wife and I play a lot of games. And my kids play games with us. I grew up playing a game we called "Knock" or "Mormon Bridge" and this is an enhanced version of that game!! Skull King is similar to other trick playing games like Rook or Spades, in that players give a bid for the number of tricks they will take. In Skull King, the bid is done at the same time... We still knock on the table with a 1...2...3... BID. You then get points based on the accuracy of your bid. In Skull King there are bonus points for sluffing (bidding zero). There are cards that allow you to sluff or take. There are also cards with points on them. And there are the pirates that take all, with the Skull King who trumps all pirates and gets extra points for "recruiting" pirates played that trick. All of the variations make this game a lot of fun and totally worth buying! CONS: The many special cards make the game less predictable than traditional trick-taking games. My wife doesn't much like the added variation. This does make the game not quite as serious and slightly less strategic. PROS: The game moves pretty quick. Good for groups and all ages. Its got a good amount of strategy but the play is still easy going and fun. You can't help but smile when you get punked by the Skull King. If you like trick-taking card games then you will probably like this game. For the money, the simplicity, the age range, and the number of players I give this game 5 out 5 stars.

I’ve bought at least 6 of these, every time I take it to a party and someone likes it I just gift it to them! Replayable, all ages and easy to take anywhere. At first the instructions feel confusing but after one round everyone catches on. Definitely recommend using the app for scoring, makes life easier!

This game is so much fun. Know your characters, and watch opponents strategies for best success. Scoring is a bit tricky and slowed the game while learnining. Then we discovered :there is an app for that". If you choose a scoring app, be careful to select one that follows the true scoring system or you may have some significant variations scoring. Now that i know the characters and rules, it is worth using the scoring pad provided. A designatrd scorer using e paper score pad iseems more accurate.

Such a fun game! Highly recommend!!

Product came shrink wrapped but the bottom corners of the box were dented and scrapped. Components inside were perfect though.

Good fun over Christmas with the fam. It’s a good size and easy to travel with.

Perfect game getting way more than the moneys worth!
