Bought this as a christmas gift along with a couple(4) more of other family and card games from this site and this one is the overall favorite. It took two rounds before all players understood the meaning of the rage cards and how to play it correctly but when they did, it made the game that much more exciting and strategic. My wife, son, parents, brother and sister all played this game and we all enjoyed it because it's a game where when you've met your quota of wins your trying to NOT win anymore where other players might want to win. You have to play it to understand.

The game is 1/2 strategy, 1/2 luck (the Rage cards and guessing the # of wins) but 100% FUN for all.

Alright, I'm another one who bought this game, read the rules and said this is just Oh Hell! (That's what the rule books call it) with a few cards thrown in. It gathered dust until I kept seeing it on the Top Sellers list of this web site over and over. So I played it and it was a blast. It's the perfect family game and a good game to play when you want to leave your brains at first base and go running for home. Yes, there is some strategy to this game, but luck sticks it's head in and makes you scream. I have some relatives who are serious Contract Bridge players and although I love the game, when you play with them you feel like you are taking a final exam. I asked them to play a round of Rage! and it's the first time I've seen them let loose in my life. (My uncle even loosened his necktie!). For the money you can't lose.

did I mention this is a fun, fun game? If you like Spades/Rook I recommend you try this game, you wont be disappointed (i originally purchased and neglected this game upon reading the rules, but once I played it 2 years later this game always comes up as a subject of the evening).
