Summary: Weird, but fun
Comment: I bought this item as a gift for Christmas and it was perfect for the guy. He's an avid card and game board player, and he enjoyed it a lot. It's rather complicated to start off with, but once you get into it, it can be a lot of fun. I love playing spades, hearts, and euchre so I wish I got one for myself as well! haha

There are small parts as it says in the description, so don't say they didn't tell you. :)

Summary: Mixed opinion, but overall fun!
Comment: My fiancee and I are big card gamers. We love Quiddler and Five Crowns, so thought we'd try this one. Overall it's fun and challenging. However, occasionally it can be a little overwhelming and if one person playing "gets" how to bid a little better the result can be a very uneven playing field. We're getting there though!

Summary: Very fun, interesting game
Comment: We had a lot of fun playing Xactika. It sounded like it might be hard to pick up, but it was a breeze. It reminds me of spades, but with a more interesting strategic element to it. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Great card game
Comment: Fascinating and fun game. The dynamics and strategies change a lot based on the number of people playing (up to 8 players). Takes playing a time or two to get the feel of the game, but well worth the effort. Good instructions, and a set of "helper" cards included so players can keep track of the probabilities (though they don't call them that). My only complaint is that the cards are a heavy paste board that doesn't wear very well if you play a lot (and we have been). Highly recommended game for those who like Wist, Hearts and the like.

Summary: An original card game which can put you in control
Comment: This is a phenomenal card game. In a elegant, subtle way Xactika has give you more control of the hand you're dealt than has ever been possible in a bidding card game. One way to think about the cards is that each one has four suites on it, and you can play any one of them. The bidding card tells you the chances of other cards having the suit you chose, so you can decide whether playing it will win or lose the trick for you. You'll want this extra edge since you have to make your bid EXACTLY to get the points you bid. Take advantage of it - it's not what you're dealt, but how you play your cards that will decide who wins.
