Session Report: Phase 10

For what it is, this is a really fun game... Mostly luck, a little tiny bit of strategy and a little bit too long, that is the one downfall, slightly too long... If it was a faster game (I know, there are some variants, but my family likes to do the full game), it would be a solid 8 or maybe even a 9 in my book, but as it stands, I can't rate it that high.

Now my son won this game, but it was close... Another card or two and I would have also 'gone out' on the same turn... I was winning by points, nearly 200 points less than him, and about 300 less than my wife. DOH! It was a great time for this one.

Players: Myself, My Wife and My Son
Games Played: 1
Winner: My Son

My Rating: 7/10
A Little too long to play too often.

My Wife's Rating: 8/10
She has fun making all of the matches, matching colors, etc.

My Son's Rating: 8/10
He likes the matching as well, and has fun with the skip cards, he gets a little too serious and competative in this game.
