Product Information

I think, generally, that’s Grandpa Beck’s wheelhouse, so this is another solid title in that line, I’d argue. You're not defenseless though; you can reveal your own matching assets or wild cards to protect your top set. A pair of the same asset or an asset with a gold or silver (wild cards) allows you to lay down the pair in front of you. To challenge another player, you must have at least one set of assets in your own stack, and the player you are challenging must have at least two.

The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries. Since every gets assets stolen from them during the game, there’s plenty of post-game chatter about how everything turned out.The decision space is limited enough that downtime doesn’t increase a ton, and also you can get robbed by any player at any time, so there’s still stuff happening even when it isn’t your turn. Make a pair from their hand: Place one pair of asset cards from their hand to their personal asset card pile in front of them. This is more luck than strategy, but I think a major component of strategy is learning when and how to capitalize on good luck.

It’s great if you control the giant money pile, but as soon as you lose it, it’s gone forever and you’ve just given the game to another player. Request Rejected This page is unavailable due to either geographic restrictions or other restrictions in place at this time. Attempt to steal assets from another player: To steal from another player, the active player must show an asset card from their hand that matches the top asset on an opponent’s pile.The game continues like this until the draw pile is empty and then each player must continue pairing, discarding and challenging each other until all cards have been played.

The same gameplay and rules as our original version, and now with updated artwork and optional advanced play. Sure, you may not get it for yourself, but it keeps it moving in the game, so maybe you can get it later on. It was a full 6-player game and there were lots of attempts to steal assets from each others’ piles.Here you’ll find all our top game recommendations so you and your family can play only the best games together!

Sure, the place where this breaks down a bit is that the game relies a bit on luck to make some of the magic happen, but that should cancel out over multiple rounds, in theory (and even if it doesn’t, it’s hard to care too much, unless you never draw a Wild card, which is frustrating). That’s why our first play was over our Christmas vacation — it’s so easy to pack and can be played almost anywhere.

I’ll likely try to do more in the future (Skull King is part of a trilogy of card games, so I’m hoping they end up bringing the other two over from Europe), but for now I’m looking at Cover Your Assets, a game about high-value stuff collection and, of course, its inevitable theft. So when you can hide and bury those high-value Gold and Silver cards lower in your pile, you’re doing well. The player challenging must now either show another matching card or a wild (if they want) to continue the challenge. We are all in this world together to help each other and learn from what others have learned from their lives journey.
