The game took us a bit of time to understand at first, but it's a great deal of fun. The first few times you play it are spent focusing on yourself and mainly figuring out how to play properly, but after you start to get the hang of it, you can take in the status of the other players better, and work to make them lose faster (making you more likely to win). It's important to have a good dealer, and at LEAST 4 players. The deck only comese with 5 'ground' cards, but says 2-8 players. In reality you can play with 6 players becauuse the last ground card doesn't matter.

I learned to play Falling at a game convention. There were 5 of us playing. Getting all the rules and strategy down at first took a little bit of time. But once we all got it, stand back. Within 30 minutes our group had swelled to 10 and others were standing around watching.

This game is a blast. I've probably played it around 1000 times. The main problem with the game is that you need at least 4 people to play. If you can find the people, 5-7 is a much better game. With a good dealer and experienced players, games take around 60-80 seconds. For someone who likes quick turn around games, this is the one for you.

The action stays high as players interact with each other in rapid succession to keep themselves alive and add to the demise of their opponents. Normally in games where players directly screw with another, it can lead to conflict and problems. But with Falling, the games are so quick that it doesn't really matter. It all comes out as good lighthearted fun. Plus, the premise is just too hilarious. You're falling off of a building. Be the last one to hit the ground.

I strongly recommend this game for anyone. It's very quick and lighthearted.
