I think this is one of the best card games ever made. I have enjoyed it since I was a youngster, and as time passes, it only gets better. There's a certain amount of random chance combined with a lot of weird strategy, which makes the game pretty balanced. I can never tell how long a game is going to take until it's over, another unusual feature. Overall, this game is best for social occassions, as it's one of those that once you're used to the rules, it's very easy to relax, play, and talk about other things, while at the same time enjoying a true classic.
