Second thoughts about “Spooks”<\/h3>\n

For some reason this unassuming game grows on us. What was first perceived as a simple
\n“Uno<\/a>” variant now has evolved into a fun thinking man’s card game,
\nif, and that is the important “if”, it is played with the FULL rules, meaning
\n“additional abilities for the “Master cards” combined with the scoring
\nrule that has the players play a series of games until one player score 200 negative
\npoints.<\/p>\n

Suddenly the silly-sounding additional abilities of the Master cards make total sense,
\nas generally avoiding high negative scores at the end of round plays very differently to
\ntrying to desperately win the round. It might even be a good strategy to not play for
\nwinning but for low scoring in general. Suddenly all sorts of tactical questions arise –
\nshould I get rid of the high card quickly to avoid negative score, or should I keep it
\nuntil I really need it and it saves my butt? Some master cards work wonderful with a
\ncertain kind of hand, others should be “wasted” in a goblin round, as they are
\nmore dangerous for you when played. Counting the cards played (or not played) by the
\nothers works as well – you can learn a lot by watching the play of the others.<\/p>\n

The game is still not luck free, but it entertains in the same way that “6 nimmt<\/a>”
\ncan entertain – it is good to have a plan, but not all plans work, which ultimately
\ncreates a fun, relaxed game, and a game that we perceived as a very good and satisfying
\ncloser to an evening of gaming.<\/p>\n

Give the game a second look if you own out – you might be surprised!<\/p>\n
