Five Crowns is a card game created by Set Enterprises.
[1] (SET - PlayMonster) Players compete by trying to obtain the lowest number of points after playing all eleven hands of the game and making sets of "books and runs."
As the slogan of Five Crowns[2][3] states: "The Game Isn't Over 'Til the Kings Go Wild!"
The top card is turned over to start a discard pile.
Players now count up all their excess points that can not fall into their books or runs.
(In that hand, people are dealt thirteen cards a piece) Jokers are always wild no matter which round it is.
Each deck contains five suits: stars, hearts, spades, clubs, and diamonds.
Each suit has eleven cards: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, a Jack, Queen, and King.
The hand should have the amount of cards that it was dealt in the beginning of the game.
"[10] Linda Cobb for Bristol Herald Courier said that "The problem is that the decks do not have aces or deuces.
That doesn't sound practical for poker, but if you want to give it a try, Five Crowns is made by Set Enterprises.
"[11] Joy Tipping for The Dallas Morning News said that "This is a great family card game, a bit like rummy, in which kids can compete with adults and have a chance of winning, even if the adults aren't "helping" them.
It's simple enough for younger kids, but also plenty challenging to keep teens and adults interested.
"[12] Jackie Burrell for Mercury News said that "Out of all the games we played last week — and we played a LOT — this award-winning five-suited riff on the rummy is our hands-down favorite.
Like gin rummy, the goal is to collect sets of cards and fling down a final discard before your partner does.
Unlike traditional rummy, this game uses a double deck with a fifth suit: stars.
