IELLO: Schotten Totten, Strategy Board Game, Easy to Learn, Claim Enough Stones to Win The Game, for 2 Players, 20 Minute Play Time, Ages 8 and Up

One of my favorite 2 player games ever.With 100s of plays on it we still keep playing it as a filler game.

What a fun game to play and teach! The game is not very complex and easy to play at a louder party. There is some strategy but you can play without knowing all the strategies available. The game is swift! Recommended!

My wife and I are just getting into board and card games. I bought this since it is recommended on a lot of lists.So far this was the easiest to pick up and learn and was an absolute blast to play!The cards feel like good quality with funny artwork.This is an easy to pick up, tremendously fun to play head-to-head game!

thanks for the game! 5 stars! cheers!

My husband and I like Schotten Totten because it is a compact 2-player game, easy to take along. It's like playing six hands of poker simultaneously. The goal is to break through a stone wall (tiles) by winning poker like ranked hands. It's easy to learn and provides a challenge to master by employing various strategies. The artwork is fun and along with the sturdiness of the box and cards makes it giftable. The 'Tactic' cards add a challenging spin to the game. We added a set of small smooth stones (in keeping with the game theme) to our box for use when playing the advanced version with the 'Tactic' cards. There is a rule that states that you can only play one more Tactic card that your opponent has played and we were unable to keep track of how many we had played. You could track on paper or use any token to track the Tactic card play. I believe that the creators of the game should have included tokens in the box.

Classic two handed card game. The advanced game with special cards is easy to adjust to and adds excitement to this work of Reiner Knizia genius. A must have for any gamers collection.

This is a very fun game. Players take turns placing cards down in front of nine "stones", trying to make three-card combinations that will out-earn your opponent and win you the stone. The first to get 5 out of the 9 stones wins. The combinations are much like rummy runs or poker hands, and it's very easy to get the hang of. But the possibilities are endless. It's very portable, and great to play with friends anywhere you have a bit of extra time. For two players.

Love the game! I like that the game is intended for two people. So many games could be played by two people but are enhanced when more people play. But this game is really meant for just two people to play. The tactic cards give it a twist when you want - not necessary to enjoy the game though. I found it easy to understand how to play (think rummy or phase 10) however, the strategy is different from other card games (kind of reminds me of strategy for Pente, yet different). The small box would be perfect for travel. The graphics are great.
