Dutch Blitz should make its way onto your shortlist if you're a fan of Gin Rummy, Kings Corner, Speed, or similar card games. This simultaneous speed-play game inspires vintage fun and is a wonderful addition to any cabin getaway. The wild, chaotic nature of the game supplies an entertaining mix of panic and satisfaction. It's family-friendly, so as long as kids can keep up with the pace, they can play along. The game works head-to-head well, and it can accommodate up to four players in its original pack or up to 8 with an expansion. This game is fun to play over and over and truly fits the pastime vibe.
While this game isn't complicated, it seems so on paper, as the instructions are less than user-friendly. Additionally, this game is about shedding cards faster than your opponents, with little time or opportunity to employ thoughtful tactics. So if you're looking for a game of strategy, you may want to look elsewhere. Despite these few drawbacks, Dutch Blitz has held a place high in our card game rotation for years, and we continue to love its charm and fast-paced fun.

Dutch Blitz

r/boardgames

 No other cards should be touched at this time. Next, the Dutch piles in the center plate of the play area should be gathered into one pile. The players will set aside their personal post, Blitz and wood pile cards as well as any cards in hand off to the side. Each card that is in the central Dutch file will now score the player one point

 That's okay though, because it is a fast, frenetic card game that might also come with house rules. depending on who teaches you to play. I'm going to teach you how to play based on the rules from the Dutch Blitz Game Company. Be aware or possibly be aware of other rules which may be out there that threaten your hands as you play this game

 Several of these hands or rounds will be played until a total of 75 points has been accumulated by one player, who then wins the game. Scoring: Each round will proceed as follows: Each player will count the number of cards remaining in their respective Blitz pile. No other cards should be touched at this time. Next, the Dutch piles in the center plate of the play area should be gathered into one pile

 I'm going to teach you how to play based on the rules from the Dutch Blitz Game Company. Be aware or possibly be aware of other rules which may be out there that threaten your hands as you play this game. The name of this game actually comes from the Pennsylvania Dutch or Amish as outsiders would refer to them. The confusion in English comes from the fact that what we call the Netherlands in Germany were once referred to with the same term

Dutch Blitz  - How to Play

 So I can only play a one girl card here. I would have to play a three boy card here. However, as you cover cards, it will tie up cards because these cards are going in ascending order. So be careful how you cycle through your decks as other cards are coming out, you're making your pile smaller and smaller

Hi welcome to Bearded Meeple today on Classic Corner, we're taking a look at a game that's the penultimate game of speed and dexterity. It's for ages eight plus and plays two to four people or eight. If you get the expansion deck, we're looking at the one the only Dutch splits. Let's take a look at it

 However, the game is simultaneous and everyone is plain at once. As a person plays a card, you are able to play a card on top of it as long as it matches you. Then move a card if you can from your blitz pile to your post pile. The object of the game is be the first person to get through your blitz pile and win

Dutch Blitz : Game Review

 The red is a bit more orange-like for instance. The colors wouldn't be too big of a deal, but the lack of plastic coating is disappointing. This set is getting dirty looking faster and clearly will not last as long.  It may have been a fluke that the color was off and these cards were not as well coated

 This set is getting dirty looking faster and clearly will not last as long.  It may have been a fluke that the color was off and these cards were not as well coated. - the packaging of the box was exactly the same so I don't know how I would tell the difference if I saw two of them on the shelf in a store - but in this case I wish I would have bought the $12 set at Barnes and Noble instead of this cheaper set which was lower quality.

Excellent fun game.  Decent, but not the highest quality of cards.

 With cards left in their blitz pile, they must multiply the number of cards remaining, but to then subtract that from the points they earn in the Dutch piles. That's their score for the round. First player 275 wins the game. Now you got it

 Remember, you want to get rid of your blitz pile. The only way to do this is to move these cards directly into a center Dutch pile or into your post piles. I'm playing with more than two players, you must have three post piles in front of You at all times. You can stack these cars in a descending order to help yourself out, but they must alternate between boy and girl

 Now, this is how you're going to score points, but we'll get to that shortly. Three Object of the game: Your first concern: Empty your blitz pile. First player to do this yells which ends the round. To gain points, get as many cards as you can in the communal Dutch piles in the center

 The score keeper flips over the Dutch piles and separates cards by some. These are them returned to their respective fire and count it to see how many points were scored for the players. With cards left in their blitz pile, they must multiply the number of cards remaining, but to then subtract that from the points they earn in the Dutch piles. That's their score for the round

How to Play Dutch Blitz®

 You can easily go in the negative if someone goes out early... Whoever reaches a certain number of points, wins

..she was FAST).  If you happen to come across someone with quick hands and a quick eye that loves this game, they are sometimes very hard to beat! (I'm talking about you again Amy) But it's all in the luck of the draw too

A long-time favorite!

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 Every picture tells a story - but what story will your picture tell? Dixit is the lovingly illustrated game of creative guesswork, where your imagination unlocks the tale. In this award-winning board game, players will use the beautiful imagery on their cards to bluff their opponents and guess which image matches the story. Guessing right is only half the battle - to really succeed, you'll have to get your friends to decide that your card tells the story! Every turn, the storyteller will call out a short phrase or word to match the image on his card. Then each player will choose the card that most closely matches that phrase, and then everyone must guess which card the storyteller saw when he invented his brief tale. Correctly guess the storyteller's card, and you'll move ahead. Convince everyone else that your card is best, and you'll do even better. Dixit is a wonderfully simple game, playable by nearly anyone with whom you share a common language. With a fantastic range of beautiful illustrations and rules that can be understood by children and adults alike, Dixit will appeal to anyone with an imagination. It's no surprise that Dixit won the Spiel de Jahres award for game design in 2010. It is brilliant and simple, beautiful and imaginative, and fun for all. 

 FROM THE MANUFACTURER 
 The players have hands of oversized cards with various artistic pictures. The active player secretly selects one of his cards and gives a very brief description. The other players secretly select their own cards which match the description. The chosen cards are shuffled and revealed, then players vote on which was chosen by the active player.Each correct answer gives points to the guesser and the active player. Each incorrect answer gives points to the player who submitted the guessed card. However, if all of the guesses are correct -- or none of them are -- then the active player gets no points and all the other players get points.The game ends when the deck is empty. The greatest total wins the game.

Finally, avoid vision intensive games. Tile laying games aren't great for example, though there are ways one can convert them to tactile games. Games like Mysterium and Dixit are complete impossibilities though.

With hidden information games there are two things you can do. The first is just have another player (or a spectator) keep the vision impaired player informed of what hidden information the vision impaired player possesses (e.g. what cards are in their hand etc)

 That does require the vision impaired person knows braille and that you have a braille labeller (or purchase the braille kits available from 64 Ounce Games). It's also quite time consuming. 

 In the context of boardgames though you will need to develop your memory and strategies for remembering components, actions, board states etc. One thing sighted players can do to assist is to make sure they read out components in full (i.e. name and impact/ability)

I have a very close friend who lost his vision in a car cash long ago. He  used to listen to us to learn what we were playing. We whisper to him about what we have on hands and our plans. He is a good secret keeper and so we don't have problem.


We want him to join and play together so we added some dot stickers on the standard playing cards and Hanafuda cards. Traditional BGs like Monopoly is also fine because he can tell from reading dice surface, the piece, and we just read out the words on card and board for him.


But as we move on and wish to try newer games we have more difficulties in playing, like SpaceTeam, 5 minute dungeon... which are not very possible. Witcher BG is one he most wanted and we have no ideas how to make it accessible for him. 


Anyone know how to modify a BG for people who has lost their vision? Or , any BGs that are possible to play with them?  

Thanks a lot.

 After choosing our settlement and road starting positions and getting into the initial turns, our friend suddenly stood up, ran to our restroom, and puked everywhere. And that was the end of Catan night.

[Welcome To]([URL REMOVED] was fun while it lasted, roll & writes! Yet as I described in my [**recent impressions of Railroad Ink Challenge**]([URL REMOVED] I’m living the law of diminishing returns within this genre of games. I used to believe that it was so cool how you could play these games with as many people as you had pads and writing utensils. Although in practice, I’ve noticed that these tend to be the quietest and least interactive games you could possibly play at a party. Low-interaction games such as roll & writes tend to take the wind out of the sails of interpersonal engagement, and I find these to be hollow forms of entertainment in group gatherings

 Both contain the chill mechanism of stopping along a one-way track to collect items or trigger effects. Jumping far ahead guarantee’s that you’ll hit your desired spot, but you’ll be skipping lots of other good options along the way and leaving them open for your opponents.

 In fact a member of our game group leaned up and whispered to me as we went for snakcs -- well I guess we can cross DIXIT of the list of game suitable for "Wilma".

  Basically I play by giving a clue that I know only one person would figure out. My son (13) and I just watched planet of the Apes, so I gave a clue that said monkeys (but the card looked like the Statue of Liberty's arm coming out of the dirt) and he guessed the right card, but the other players did not. Our friend (Wilma") played this game and did not get any points. she was super bad at the game

Dixit is fun for almost everyone -- except for Wilma and Sam.

It takes a long time, the phases are a bit confusing, and the set up is a bit clumsy (possibly because the rules didn't translate that well from Polish to English). I like it, quite a bit, but even the Dixit lovers in my playing groups don't seem keen on it. Nor the Clue players.

Inspired by u/WrestlingCheese and u/filipptralala comments on a different thread, what are some of the games that you love but 100% understand why some people dislike it?


To me it has to be **Betrayal At The House On The Hill** . I loved it and had a blast plenty of times that I played. But some people that I have introduced the game to didn’t enjoy it AT ALL. The rules of some haunts are vague at best, and some haunts are already decided by the time they start (one way or another).

What’s a game that you love but understand why others dislike?

 Because both the pieces and game board are quite smooth, the pieces very easily shift around, making it difficult to keep proper score as the bunnies advance. All this said, the game play is very fun, and I didn't find myself really caring too much about the score even thoguh pieces kept falling and sliding around. The game was a hit with my family over Christmas vacation, and everyone commented that they liked how even people who are usually "good at games" could still do well.

The game concept and card art is excellent. Other reviewers have said they prefer art from other Dixit variants better, but as a newbie to the game I thought these were great! Only criticism is with game board and pieces: (1) Game board is awkwardly long, making it difficult to everyone playing to have a good "seat" with respect to the board. Also, it is misrepresented in the current image on the product page show a square game board, but the board that gets shipped is actually a very long skinny rectangle (someone should probably correct this). (2) The bunny pieces are very unstable and fall all the time

Wonderful game!  Minor issues with board/pieces.

 With that being said, I think it was all fairly reasonable because most of these games have been played over 10 times each (even the most recent acquisitions) with the exception of Pax Pamir and Brass Birmingham because it’s harder to get those one played. I also think it was reasonable since we didn’t really spend a bunch of extra money on things, we just made the theme of gift giving holidays board games.

Hi all! I've been in the hobby for about six months now and absolutely love it, spending most of my time playing solo. In that time, I've been really careful about how much I limit my purchases. I have three games currently (**Root**, **Wingspan**, &amp; **Parks**) with one more (**Oath**) on the way and I've made a hard rule to cap my collection at 5 games max. However, it's been really hard to restrict my purchasing of board games, especially since everything I see looks so cool/new. How did you all manage that early excitement and what kind of games made their way into your collection during the first year?

What did your first year of board game purchases look like?

Bought this to play with younger kids (6 & 4). Absolutely love the concept and execution but unfortunately we just found the imagery to be a bit too unsettling. To be clear, there's nothing is overtly graphic or wrong here, but all the concepts and choice of color palette skew towards darkness and imagery that just leaves you feeling slightly uneasy. A toy shop full of frowning toys

Fun game, but dark imagery for younger kids

 But I think four is the WORST number of people to play it at. When I played it with my family (all ages) for a total of six players, we all had a BLAST! I think five would be similarly fun. I also think a large part of the fun was the specific people. My friends are much more into strategy and trivia games, with the occasional Cards Against Humanity shock-and-laugh game thrown in
