- Grandpa Beck's Games Toil & Troublez | from The Creators of Cover Your Assets | Fun Push Your Luck Card Game | for Kids, Teens, and Adults | 2-6 Players, Ages 7+

Super fun game for all ages. My husband and I enjoy playing it and my kids play it with us too. It takes about 30-40 minutes to complete and the cards are beautiful. My son got this for me for Christmas :)

This is super easy to learn and really fun. It's become my favorite game to just keep on the kitchen table to fill pockets of time. All the kids love it too.

This is a great quick start game for game nights. Pro: great artwork, Fun to play, easy to learn, what is pretty quick once you get the hang of the game. Love grandpa Beck‘s games. Con’s: none

We love games, board games, card games, and dice games. The game is easy to learn, fun, and challenging. It travelled with us on our vacation and was enjoyed by everyone, age 9 to 68. The cards are quality made.

Very fun game, our family loves it

I am a big fan of Grampa Beck's games and have a number of them in my collection including Cover Your Assets, Cover Your Cookies and Cover Your Kingdom. Toil and Troublez is a fun game but does have a bit more complicated rules. The game, at it's heart, is a push your luck set collection game. I found that it was easier to watch the How to Play video. The instructions aren't too long, but there are a lot of restrictions on how and where you can place and play cards and watching the video made it very clear. We were able to play without referring to the rules after a few playthroughs of the game though. You are trying to collect different cards into sets, either four of the same talisman cards, or one of each of five talisman, to score points. You can make your turn as long as you want providing you can play a card each time you draw. If you continue, but can't play a card your turn is over. You may have gotten the cards you wanted, or you may have set another player up to get them if your luck turns and that's the fun of the game. The cards are average weight cardstock but the artwork is colorful and very thematic, just like all of Grandpa Beck's games. I plan on sleeving them to protect them from wear and tear. Overall, we liked this game. It was a fun game that is quick to play taking under a half hour. It will take you a bit longer the first few times until you get the hang of the placement rules and different cards. Grandpa Beck always comes out with fun, family games that are simple to learn but fun enough that you will bring them to the table over and over. Toil and Troublez is no exception. At $17, you are definitely getting your value of fun.

Fun Game! It is enjoyable with children and adults playing together. It is easy to learn and a nice change from regular card games.

Great game! Watch the video to understand how to play it, as it’s difficult to understand correct play from the instructions.

Love Grampa becks games. This one was hard to figure out from instructions but a YouTube video of game play was all we needed. Once you know what to do very fun game

Jeu de cartes où l'on doit faire des collections avec un système de pose et de stop ou encore. Pour ceux qui connaissent il a un petit air de captain carcasse . Mais au lieu de sorti les cartes sur une seule ligne, on les place sur 3 . Et c est là qu il devient plus stratégique . On peut soit avoir la stratégie de tenter de collecter un max de cartes. Soit d'entraver la récolte du prochain joueur. Les règles sont en anglais mais facilement traduites par Google traducteur image. Et on trouve des vidéos YouTube aussi . Pour moi une petite pépite qui fait que je ne vais plus hésiter à me défaire de captain carcasse. Car je préfère largement Toil &Troublez. Les cartes sont de bonne qualité . Les règles faciles . On peut très bien jouer avec des enfants à un niveau un peu moins stratégique ou entre plus grands avec plus de réflexion.

Me and my ten-year-old play this a LOT! It's easy to learn, but great gameplay, and perfectly portable. (We also love Skull King by Grandpa Beck.)

Wonderful game for family game night. The instructional video doesn’t explain super well how to play, so just work through a few hands and you get it right away!

I read the small book of instructions first time round and it went straight over my head for some reason, (although I’m blonde and menopausal so that may be why!), but when I started following the instructions with the pack of card it all fell into place and it became really enjoyable very quickly. The art on the cards are what originally attracted me to the game, but the game itself is great. It’s a bit similar to the principles of the card game rummy in that you can make sets of 4 of a kind or a sequence of cards, except you continue to build sets until the cards run out and the winner is the one who has accumulated the most. I played it as 2 players and it was fun, I can imagine you would need to be more tactical with a greater number of players. I like the fact that it’s the person who last ate mushrooms goes first as my husband doesn’t like mushrooms and I think this gives me a good advantage! The game is packaged well in a nice small box, it is great to have in the game’s cupboard. I’ve purchased 2 more grandpa beck games for Christmas and have yet to play them, but they all seem great quality.
