Crew Deck

Creative twist on trick crd games.

I like how quickly the game plays. The game was very easy to learn. However, playing it well may take some practice. It's fun being able to see what your opponents are collecting and trying to stop them from expanding on those sets. However, even if you don't want to focus on the competitive aspect it's even fun to just focus on your own collection as you work to build it up. The way the game is designed brings in good replay value as you try to figure out when is and is not a good time to spend a fair number of points to increase your collection.

Crew Deck has become a favorite at our house. We have enjoyed it with adults and teenagers. It plays quickly allowing for multiple round competitions or a brief game between other activities. This game also allows you to score in a variety of ways which gives space for each player to create their own strategy. And that art work is great too!

I playtested a two player game with the designer probably in the late fall of 2019 and had a really fun time! I enjoyed the cut and pick mechanism! A Similar mechanism that is found in I think sword crafter, but I like Crew Deck way better! The decisions in this game feels much more strategic and important than simply set collection! It is definitely set collection but intertwined for a point salad with surprising depth!
