Rapscallion (2008)

About this game

In Rapscallion, players vie for the best poker hand by bidding for playing cards using unique bidding cards and powerful Rapscallions. During each hand, players obtain more powerful bidding cards by giving up playing cards already won. Points are given for the best hand, certain types of hands, and for other criteria, until one player reaches 100 points.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
