I received this game specifically to write a review. That said, I try to be honest and open in all my reviews.(Please see the enclosed picture.)Summary: The Card Sharks Game is a game for three or more players (with more than three players, you form teams) that will last about 30-45 minutes. There is nothing objectionable in the game, but just from a general knowledge standpoint, it is probably best as an age 14+ game.Each team deals out seven cards face down, and the game begins.One player does not compete, he or she is the game host and will ask questions. All the questions are of the form, "100 _____ were asked ______, how many said _______ ?" The lead player gives a number, and then the other player or team guesses, higher or lower. If the guess is correct, that player or team takes a turn doing "high/low" on the seven cards. If the guess is wrong, the player or team guessing the number takes its turn doing the high/low sub-game.The first team to turn over all seven cards guessing high/low correctly at each turn wins that round. There are three rounds.During the high/low game, the first card for the team is turned over. That team can elect to replace that card with another from the deck. The team has to accept a replacement card.Then, the team has to guess whether the next card is higher or lower. If the team guesses right, they guess whether the card following is higher/lower. After guessing correctly, the team has the option of "freezing" its progress and passing control to other team, who then goes through high/low sub-game.If the team guesses wrong or the card *matches* the next card then the team must clear its side of the board, deal seven new cards face down, and control passes to the other team.The game will not go on indefinitely. After the fifth wrong guess, the game enters a "sudden death" phase. The first team to make a mistake forfeits the game to the opposing team.The high/low sub-game occurs three times. The first winner gets $1000. The second winner gets $2000, and during the final/third round, the winner gets $3000.Then the game proceeds to the money round. The game proceeds just as the high/low sub-game goes, but the player has to bet at least half of his or her bank on each turn of the card. Before turning over the seventh card, the player can decide to not risk the pot and take their winnings.On to the Dr Games’ Criteria …GO/NO GO Criterion• Complexity: (GO) The game is not complex. There are some nuances, but individual decisions are not complex, and the game is well structured.• Balanced: (GO ) The game is completely balanced.• Chance (GO) The game is a perfect balance of chance and skill. There is a lot of chance in this game, but everyone knows that going into the game.• Clarity: (GO) The rules are not very clear. They do explain how the game works, but the game assumes that the players have seen the TV version of the game or have seen the game played before. Honestly, I had to watch some on-line videos to figure it out. After seeing some demo games and watching the original game on TV, I was able to puzzle out the rules.• Reasonable Time: (GO) The game takes between 30-45 minutes.Bonus Criteria• Social: There is not a specific rule on social interaction, but the nature of the game leads to various people helping and cheers and boos depending on the outcomes of the guesses.• Unique/Interesting Mechanics: The game is based on the TV game-show. There are no unique, non-game-show mechanics.• Informed: It does teach people about probabilities.• Rewards Throughout: Money gained from each round is yours to keep.
