Grandpa Beck's GamesSkull King - The Ultimate Pirate Trick Taking Card Game | Fun Strategy Game for Friends, Family, Game Night | from The Creators of Cover Your Assets | 2-8 Players Ages 8+

One of my friends highly recommended Skull King, and with her level of enthusiasm, I had to give it a try. I'm always on the lookout for good games, and this one definitely adds something unique to game night.It’s a fun mix of strategy, risk, and timing. I especially like that there are options to increase the challenge once you get the basics down. The core gameplay keeps you thinking, and it rewards bold moves when you time them right.My only critique is that it comes with a lot of rules, which can feel overwhelming at first. Fortunately, the game includes handy cheat cards to help you remember everything, and once you’ve played a couple rounds, it starts to click.I haven’t dived too deeply into the advanced gameplay with all the bonus cards yet, but I’ve played that way with friends who are more into it, and it adds even more layers to the fun. If you’re into risk-taking games with a twist, Skull King is definitely worth a shot.

My favorite game! I know I’ll like you if you also say this is your favorite game. It’s so fun and I like the strategy. We have added some fun rules that our family likes, for example, at the last round you can do a blind bid- and if you get your bid you double your points. Yes, we’ve had people bid 0 on round 10 and get the bid and earn an extra 200 points. Makes it lots more fun.Good for ages 8 and up in my opinion! I have texted Grandpa Beck before to ask a question and he responded almost right away! That’s great customer service. We own all of the Grandpa Beck games and this, cover your assets and bears and bees are the favorites. Also the Crumbl cookie version of cover your cookies is fun.

Such a fun, family friendly game!!

This is a super fun family game. We love it!

We love Grandpa Beck games!! This one is great.

Great family game

Easy to learn, incredibly fun to play! Highly recommend

We all love this game! Our 4 year old sort of gets it, but 6 year old and up play very well! Our kids like strategy and are big into games, and this provides all that they like. I was concerned that it could be scary or too much pirate stuff, but it’s very appropriate and fun! Sort of like spades plus fun power cards with different abilities. Easy to take places. I would recommend it to anyone!
