Friends of "quick and easy, but fun" card games may rejoice, as this is certainly a winner in this respect. It is not the deepest of games, but can be a satisfying filler or closer for an evening of games. Draw a card to play to a row, or take a row -- it's that easy! You score points for collecting cards of the same color. The game is very easy, but not dumb, and appeals to both gamers and non-gamers. This game also contains a kind of "unofficial" Expansion Set for [gameid=1263] (same publisher, same author). Depending on the edition you purchased, you received 1 or 8 (?) "Creepy Castle" cards that are used for making your own expansion cards from the Abacus catalog: [gameid=23101] [gameid=23102] [gameid=23103] Alternately, you can make your own cards for [gameid=1263]. The name for the game was subject of a competition -- the winner was Sebastian Herzog, member of the "Spuiratzn" gaming group, Munich.
