Product Description

Five Crowns is a fast paced ingenious rummy-like card game. Its double deck contains five suits (the stars are new), but it has no aces or twos. This unique deck gives you many more options for arranging your hand into sets and sequences. The challenge is to see them make the right combinations, be the first to go out, then watch the others scramble as they get one last chance to cut their losses. Five Crowns, with its beautiful cards, is easy to learn. It starts with three cards and 3's are wild. The next hand has four cards and 4's are wild, and so on. You'll need luck and skill throughout the game because even in the last hand a worthy opponent can come from behind and win. Remember, "the game isn't over 'til the Kings go wild!" Five Crowns is for up to 2 to 7 players.

From Parents' Choice®
It's somewhat like rummy. Each succeeding hand is played with one additional card; the number of cards dealt determine which card is wild: e.g. when players begin with three cards, the 3's are wild; with four cards, the 4's are wild and so on up to thirteen cards, when Kings are wild. (Ruth B. Roufberg, Parent's Choice®, 1996)

Customer Reviews

Fun card game!
The first time I played this game, it was a bit confusing because I would constantly forget what hand we were on...count your cards and you'll know. I picked up fast tho. Pretty simple and fun.

A+ for FUN!
I bought this game along with Quiddler and Sets for family game nights over the holidays. All three games were a huge hit with all family members. Five Crowns is easy to learn and since there are only 10 rounds to complete a game it doesn't drag on forever like some games do. If you like Gin, or Rummy type card games this is the game for you!

A very good card game
A very good card game that my teenagers love to play.
It is very similar to rummy and requires player to figure out the different card possibilities and strategies to end the game. The only complaint I get is the large number of cards that need to be shuffled for each round. Overall, it has provided good entertainment as well as a thinking exercise to my teenagers and their group of friends.
