TEN

Watched a movie on how to play and read the directions to my nephews. Have played this a couple of times and the replayability is there. Great for kids who are learning how to add and subtract.

So I have a lot of family members who are not into medium weigh board games but seem to really enjoy filler weight games. Thankfully after finding our Ten has the same developer as one on my family’s favorite card games Point Salad I decided to give Ten a shot. It has been a huge success for them and even more for me because it has a great use of the push your luck mechanism which is of of my favorite mechanisms in games in general. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who enjoys point salad or no thanks card games.

Originally, I purchased this game back in October 2021. I loved the card game, but was informed by someone at the BoardGameGeek that the cards were flimsy and might not last very long. I was also confused with the ability to play the game solo. Then, 'lo and behold', the game was impossible to purchase for over a year, until Miniature Market informed me that the game came back in. For me, the 2 or more-player card game was fantastic and included ideas not associated with any other card game: auctioning of cards you don't need, pressing your luck to turn over another card (?) and receiving good and bad stones. I just wish someone on the Geek Squad would include a video as to how the solo game works. This card game isn't going back anytime soon!

Great filler game!

Not great with just 2 players.

Simple, but fun push your luck!

Ten fits a lot of different mechanics into a small card game with much better gameplay than its initial appearance would have you believe.

Overall an enjoyable experience played with my niece and nephews. Ages 7-13. They enjoyed the push your luck element. They would definitively play again. It’s quick enough and turns move pretty quick that even at 5 players it didn’t seem too long. I assumed that there would be a lot more busting and that would lead to some fun moments. But there were only 2 in the entire game and it didn’t feel like anyone was playing too conservatively. It was always the best decision to just stop and collect.

Push your luck every round, interrupted by quick auctions, to collect sequences of numbers

Ten is an awesome game to play with all levels and aged gamers. It was fast paste and enjoyable with enough push your luck to get exciting.
