Five Crowns
Five Crowns is a classic rummy-style card game from PlayMonster, designed by Marsha J. Falco, played with five suits instead of four. Over eleven hands you collect runs and sets, starting with three cards and building all the way up to thirteen. A hand ends as soon as someone can lay down every card they're holding, which makes it a quick, easy family game to learn.

About the game
Kings are wild. Eventually.
Gobgob's favourite bit: The wild card changes every hand. Threes are wild in the first, fours in the second and so on, until Kings go wild in the last. The six Jokers stay wild the whole game, which Gobgob finds very comforting.
📦 In the box: 116 cards: 110 across five suits (stars, hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds) and 6 Jokers.
